LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND
The Committee is concerned that lands acquired with funds
appropriated via the Land and Water Conservation Fund are
being, or have been, made available for uses inconsistent with
the recreation, conservation or public access for which they
were purchased. Accordingly, the Committee directs the
Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to
notify the Committee before any land use or management decision
is made that will change the use of the land from their
conservation or recreational use.
The following table displays appropriations from the Land
and Water Conservation Fund.

Reprogramming Guidelines
The following are the procedures governing reprogramming
actions for programs and activities funded in the Interior,
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act:
1. Definition.--``Reprogramming,'' as defined in these
procedures, includes the reallocation of funds from one budget
activity to another. In cases where either the House or Senate
Committee report displays an allocation of an appropriation
below the activity level, that more detailed level shall be the
basis for reprogramming. For construction accounts, a
reprogramming constitutes the reallocation of funds from one
construction project (identified in the justification or
Committee report) to another. A reprogramming shall also
consist of any significant departure from the program described
in the agency's budget justifications. This includes proposed
reorganizations even without a change in funding.
2. Guidelines for Reprogramming.--(a) A reprogramming
should be made only when an unforeseen situation arises; and
then only if postponement of the project or the activity until
the next appropriation year would result in actual loss or
damage. Mere convenience or desire should not be factors for
consideration.
(b) Any project or activity, which may be deferred through
reprogramming, shall not later be accomplished by means of
further reprogramming; but, instead, funds should again be
sought for the deferred project or activity through the regular
appropriations process.
(c) Reprogramming should not be employed to initiate new
programs or to change allocations specifically denied, limited
or increased by the Congress in the act or the report. In cases
where unforeseen events or conditions are deemed to require
changes, proposals shall be submitted in advance to the
Committee, regardless of amounts involved, and be fully
explained and justified.
(d) Reprogramming proposals submitted to the Committee for
approval shall be considered approved 30 calendar days after
receipt if the Committee has posed no objection. However,
agencies will be expected to extend the approval deadline if
specifically requested by either Committee.
(e) Proposed changes to estimated working capital fund
bills and estimated overhead charges, deductions, reserves or
holdbacks, as such estimates were presented in annual budget
justifications, shall be submitted through the reprogramming
process.
3. Criteria and Exceptions.--Any proposed reprogramming
must be submitted to the Committee in writing prior to
implementation if it exceeds $500,000 annually or results in an
increase or decrease of more than 10 percent annually in
affected programs, with the following exceptions:
(a) With regard to the tribal priority allocations activity
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Operations of Indian Programs
account, there is no restriction on reprogrammings among the
programs within this activity. However, the Bureau shall report
on all reprogrammings made during the first 6 months of the
fiscal year by no later than May 1 of each year, and shall
provide a final report of all reprogrammings for the previous
fiscal year by no later than November 1 of each year.
(b) With regard to the ``Environmental Protection Agency,
State and Tribal Assistance Grants'' account, reprogramming
requests associated with States and tribes applying for
partnership grants do not need to be submitted to the Committee
for approval should such grants exceed the normal reprogramming
limitations.
4. Quarterly Reports.--(a) All reprogrammings shall be
reported to the Committee quarterly and shall include
cumulative totals.
(b) Any significant shifts of funding among object
classifications also should be reported to the Committee.
5. Administrative Overhead Accounts.--For all
appropriations where costs of overhead administrative expenses
are funded in part from ``assessments'' of various budget
activities within an appropriation, the assessments shall be
shown in justifications under the discussion of administrative
expenses.
6. Contingency Accounts.--For all appropriations where
assessments are made against various budget activities or
allocations for contingencies the Committee expects a full
explanation, as part of the budget justification, consistent
with section 404 of this act. The explanation shall show the
amount of the assessment, the activities assessed, and the
purpose of the fund. The Committee expects reports each year
detailing the use of these funds. In no case shall a fund be
used to finance projects and activities disapproved or limited
by Congress or to finance new permanent positions or to finance
programs or activities that could be foreseen and included in
the normal budget review process. Contingency funds shall not
be used to initiate new programs.
7. Report Language.--Any limitation, directive, or
earmarking contained in either the House or Senate report which
is not contradicted by the other report nor specifically denied
in the conference report shall be considered as having been
approved by both Houses of Congress.
8. Assessments.--No assessments shall be levied against any
program, budget activity, subactivity, or project funded by the
Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act
unless such assessments and the basis therefore are presented
to the Committees on Appropriations and are approved by such
Committees, in compliance with these procedures.
9. Land Acquisitions and Forest Legacy.--Lands shall not be
acquired for more than the approved appraised value (as
addressed in section 301(3) of Public Law 91-646), unless such
acquisitions are submitted to the Committees on Appropriations
for approval in compliance with these procedures.
10. Land Exchanges.--Land exchanges, wherein the estimated
value of the Federal lands to be exchanged is greater than
$500,000, shall not be consummated until the Committees on
Appropriations have had a 30-day period in which to examine the
proposed exchange.
11. Appropriations Structure.--The appropriation structure
for any agency shall not be altered without advance approval of
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
TITLE I
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
LAND AND WATER RESOURCES
Bureau of Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management [BLM] is charged with
administering for multiple uses 256 million acres of public
land concentrated in 12 Western States, as well as 700 million
acres of federally owned sub-surface mineral rights. Minerals,
timber, rangeland, fish and wildlife, wilderness and recreation
are among the resources and activities managed by BLM.
Recent increases in energy production and recreation visits
have placed an even greater stress on the Bureau's multiple use
mandate, but great strides are being made to address the needs
of an ever-growing U.S. population.
In 2010, over 55 million visitors are expected to
participate in recreational activities on public lands. This
influx of visitors necessitates ongoing investments in the
Bureau's planning, recreation management, facilities
construction and law enforcement programs.
In addition, the Bureau is tasked with managing programs
involving the mineral industry, utility companies, ranchers,
the timber industry, and the conservation and research
communities. In 2010, it is estimated that on-shore public
lands will generate $4,600,000,000 in revenues from such
resource uses as energy development, grazing, and timber
production. The bulk of this amount, $4,400,000,000, will come
from energy development.
MANAGEMENT OF LAND AND RESOURCES
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $890,194,000
Emergency supplementals, 2009........................... 125,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 975,351,000
House allowance......................................... 950,496,000
Committee recommendation................................ 965,721,000
The Committee recommends a total appropriation of
$965,721,000 for the ``Management of Land and Resources''
account. This amount is $75,527,000 above the equivalent fiscal
year 2009 enacted level, and $9,630,000 below the budget
request.
All of the increases, totaling $16,524,000, requested to
offset rising fixed costs are provided in the amounts requested
in the budget. The Committee supports the administration's
major initiatives and recommends increases of $15,000,000 for
the climate impacts initiative, $16,100,000 for the renewable
energy initiative, and $5,000,000 for the Secretary's 21st
century youth conservation corps.
Other program changes are described in the following budget
activity narratives. Detailed funding levels for each
subactivity can be found in the table at the end of the report.
The Committee directs the Bureau to retain its current
level of support for the National Conservation Training Center
[NCTC], and directs that funds shall be available to NCTC
within 60 days of enactment.
The following table provides a comparison of the budget
estimate and the Committee's recommendation in the major
programmatic areas funded by this account.

\1\Funding for the Permit Processing Fund, authorized by section 365 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, is not
included in the ``Management of Land and Resources'' account but is shown in this table to accurately reflect
the cost of the energy and minerals program.
\2\Funding for Mining Law Administration is fully offset by fees.
Land Resources.--The Committee recommends an appropriation
of $250,542,000 for land resources. This amount is an increase
of $49,345,000 above the 2009 enacted appropriation and
$2,350,000 above the budget request. The recommendation
includes increases of $3,467,000 for fixed costs, $15,000,000
to support the Department's climate change impacts initiative,
$2,500,000 for youth conservation activities, $26,873,000 for
wild horse and burro management, $1,000,000 for BLM activities
authorized by the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009
(Public Law 111-11), and $1,350,000 for general program
increases. The general program increase is to be distributed as
follows: $350,000 for soil, water, and air management; $700,000
for rangeland management; $100,000 for forestry management; and
$200,000 for riparian management. The increase of $1,000,000
mentioned above is recommended for cultural resources
management to protect, inventory and monitor heritage,
cultural, archaeological, historical, and paleontological
resources of tribes on wilderness lands authorized in the
Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11)
such as the cultural resources protection plan and the
recreation travel management plan in the Owyhee Public Land
Management Initiative.
The Committee notes with approval that the BLM has retained
the 2009 increase of $7,500,000 for abandoned mine remediation
in its 2010 request. The Department has acknowledged that it
does not have a comprehensive inventory of abandoned mines on
public lands. Such an inventory is an essential prerequisite
for an effective and cost efficient program to attain
environmental and public safety around abandoned mine sites.
The Committee directs the Secretary to provide a report on the
status of this inventory within 120 days of enactment of this
bill. The Committee expects a completed inventory to be
submitted for review by September 30, 2010. The inventory
should identify those mine sites that pose a clear threat to
the environment or to human safety.
The Committee recognizes the need for a substantial budget
increase of $26,873,000 for the wild horse and burro program in
2010 and provides the requested level of $67,486,000. However,
the Committee notes that the costs for gathering and holding
equines to control populations on public lands have risen
beyond sustainable levels. The Committee directs the Bureau to
(1) consider private proposals for long-term care of wild
horses and burros; (2) create a bidding process among such
proposals, and (3) prepare and publish a new comprehensive
long-term plan and policy for management of wild horses and
burros that involves consideration and development of proposals
by non-governmental entities, by September 30, 2010.
The Committee encourages all Federal agencies that need and
use horses to fulfill their responsibilities to first seek to
acquire a wild horse from the Bureau of Land Management, and,
prior to seeking another supplier for usable horses, document
why the Bureau cannot meet the needs of the inquiring Federal
agency. The Bureau is also encouraged to develop an expedited
process for providing wild horses to local and State police
forces.
Wildlife and Fisheries.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $49,607,000 for wildlife and fisheries
activities. This amount is $1,118,000 over the 2009
appropriation and $520,000 over the request. The recommendation
includes increases of $743,000 for fixed costs and general
program increases of $250,000 for wildlife management and
$125,000 for fisheries management. The Committee does not agree
to the proposed reduction of $145,000 in National Fish and
Wildlife Foundation grants funding.
Threatened and Endangered Species.--The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $22,612,000 for threatened and
endangered species conservation, an increase of $899,000 over
the 2009 appropriation and $500,000 above the request. The
increases are $399,000 for fixed costs, $300,000 for redband
trout and salmon habitat and restoration in Nevada, and a
general program increase of $200,000.
Recreation Management.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $68,392,000 for wilderness management and
recreation resources management activities. This amount is
$4,654,000 above the 2009 appropriation and $700,000 over the
request. The recommendation includes the full $2,500,000 for
the Secretary's 21st century youth conservation corps
initiative, $1,454,000 as requested for fixed costs, and
general program increases of $200,000 for wilderness management
and $500,000 for recreation resources management.
Energy and Minerals Management.--The Committee recommends
an appropriation of $89,689,000 for oil, gas, coal, and other
minerals management. This is $9,724,000 below the 2009 enacted
level and $21,000,000 less than the request. However, by
rejecting the administration's proposal to repeal portions of
the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Bureau will have an
additional $21,000,000 available so that activities supported
by the request are fully funded. In addition to the Committee
appropriation recommendation, the Bureau will receive
$45,500,000 in collections from fees for applications for
permits to drill, an increase of $9,100,000 over 2009 which is
used to offset the appropriation. Changes from 2009 include an
increase of $2,058,000 for fixed costs, a decrease of
$4,600,000 for the Alaska legacy well remediation program, a
decrease of $1,000,000 for a completed core sample shipment
project, and an increase of $2,500,000 for production
accountability improvements.
The Committee understands that the Bureau will not complete
its analysis of the Internet oil and gas lease auction program
before the end of fiscal year 2009 and subsequently will need
time in 2010 to analyze and develop recommendations for
implementation of a new program. The Committee requests that
the Bureau provide a report on the results of the Internet oil
and gas auction pilot, and recommendations on how to implement
the program in fiscal year 2011.
Realty and Ownership Management.--The Committee recommends
an appropriation of $97,632,000 for public land realty and
ownership management activities. This amount is $17,567,000
above the 2009 appropriation and $400,000 above the request.
The Committee supports the requested changes from the enacted
level: the full $16,100,000 increase for the President's
renewable energy initiative, an increase of $1,817,000 as
requested for fixed costs, and a requested decrease of $750,000
for cadastral surveys. Recommended increases above the budget
request are $300,000 for the Utah Rural Government Geographic
Information Systems Assistance Program and a general program
increase of $100,000.
The Committee understands that renewable energy will become
a more significant source of power for the Nation and that the
Department of the Interior and the Forest Service will play a
prominent role in its development. However, the Committee is
very concerned about the impacts these projects will have on
the landscape, particularly those for wind and solar power.
Proposed solar projects can each cover several square miles and
the newest wind turbines are over 500 feet tall. Appropriate
siting of these projects and cost-appropriate size limitations
are critical to ensuring that the pristine landscapes and
magnificent views of the country's public lands and coastlines
are protected.
Accordingly, within 180 days of enactment, the Committee
directs that the Department submit a joint report with the
Forest Service on the criteria used for siting renewable energy
projects, including the extent to which protection of scenic
landscapes, ridgetops, and shorelines will be considered. The
report should also provide a detailed strategic plan on how the
Department and the Forest Service will coordinate the
development of such projects particularly in areas where there
is mixed ownership of Interior and Forest Service lands. The
report should identify specifically what areas of the public
lands and the Outer Continental Shelf will be considered for
projects based on: (1) their potential for renewable energy
generation; (2) what additional transmission lines will be
necessary to connect these new sources of power to the energy
grid; (3) where these transmission lines will be placed; and
(4) the methodology to be used to limit the size of solar
troughs and photovoltaic facilities.
The report should also include an analysis of the useful
life of renewable energy sites and provide an explanation of
how the infrastructure will be removed from the public lands
when it is no longer functional. The Committee believes that
some mechanism, such as a bond put forth by the permittees,
should be utilized by the Department and the Forest Service so
that the Government does not have to pay for the removal of
these large facilities after they are no longer viable.
The Committee strongly encourages the BLM to apply the
necessary resources to complete landscape scale assessments by
the end of fiscal year 2010 on the Mojave Basin and Range,
Central Basin and Range, Sonoran Desert, and the Colorado
Plateau. These assessments should, at a minimum, include
spatial analyses of priority conservation areas, renewable
energy potential, invasive species, and wildfires.
As the Department of the Interior and Forest Service
proceed with the development of policies and the preparation of
environmental documents and permitting of renewable energy
projects, the Committee expects to be consulted with on a
regular basis.
Resource Protection and Maintenance.--The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $96,077,000 for resource
protection and maintenance. This is an increase of $3,526,000
over the 2009 enacted appropriation and $2,000,000 over the
request. In addition to the requested $1,526,000 increase for
fixed costs, the Committee recommends an increase of $1,000,000
for law enforcement. The Committee also recommends an increase
of $1,000,000 for travel and transportation plans. The agency
shall allocate these funds to travel and transportation
management plans authorized by law in the recently passed
Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, such as the
Washington County comprehensive travel and transportation plan
in Utah.
Transportation and Facilities Maintenance.--The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $74,555,000 for transportation
and facilities maintenance. There is an increase of $698,000
over the enacted 2009 appropriation for fixed costs as
requested.
Land and Resources Information Systems.--The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $16,754,000 for land and
resources information systems. There is an increase of $173,000
over the enacted 2009 appropriation for fixed costs as
requested.
Mining Law Administration.--The Committee recommends
$36,696,000 for mining law administration which is $2,000,000
over the 2009 level and the same as the request. This amount is
fully offset by collections from mining claims fees.
Workforce Organization and Support.--The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $158,060,000 for workforce
organization and support as requested. There is an increase of
$3,166,000 over the enacted 2009 appropriation for fixed costs.
Challenge Cost Share.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $10,000,000 for challenge cost share
partnership projects. This amount includes a $500,000 increase
over the 2009 enacted appropriation and the request.
National Monuments and National Conservation Areas.--The
Committee recommends an appropriation of $31,801,000 for major
units of the National Landscape Conservation System. This
amount is an increase of $3,605,000 over the 2009 enacted
appropriation and $3,000,000 over the requested level. There is
a general program increase of $3,000,000 and an increase of
$605,000 for fixed costs.
The Committee remains concerned about the lack of
transparency in the BLM budget with regard to national trails.
The Committee directs the Bureau to create a specific
subactivity for the National Trails System within the National
Monuments and National Conservation Areas activity. This
subactivity should be included in the 2011 budget request with
a clear explanation for any amounts that may be transferred
from other activities and subactivities.

FISH AND WILDLIFE AND PARKS
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal
agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing
fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats. The Service
manages the 96 million acre National Wildlife Refuge System,
which encompasses 550 national wildlife refuges, thousands of
small wetlands and other special management areas and 78,000
square miles of National Marine Monuments. It also operates 70
national fish hatcheries, 65 fish and wildlife management
offices and 81 ecological services field stations. The Agency
enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered
Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores
nationally significant fisheries, conserves, and restores
wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign
governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees
the Federal Assistance program, which distributes hundreds of
millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting
equipment to State fish and wildlife agencies.

House allowance......................................... 1,248,756,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,244,386,000
The Committee recommends a total appropriation of
$1,244,386,000 for the ``Resource Management'' account. This
amount is $103,424,000 above the equivalent fiscal year 2009
enacted level, and $26,180,000 above the budget request.
Changes to the 2009 enacted level include the addition of
$19,404,000 to meet fixed cost increases and programmatic
increases totaling $84,020,000. The Committee supports the
major initiatives requested by the administration and
recommends that the climate change initiative be fully funded
at $42,000,000 and that $13,000,000 be provided for youth and
careers in nature. The internal transfer for literature
research services is included as requested.

Several congressionally directed projects have been added
to the budget request and are discussed in the activity report
language below. Funding for these projects is to be distributed
to the appropriate program and region before the Service's
standard distribution of funds. No congressionally directed
project in this account may be funded, fully or in part, by
reductions in other projects, programs, or regions.
Ecological Services.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $305,677,000 for the ecological services
budget activity. This amount is $29,407,000 above the 2009
enacted level, $14,600,000 above the request, and includes
increases of $4,938,000 for fixed costs as included in the
request and program increases totaling $24,469,000.
Within ecological services, the Committee recommends
$174,657,000 for endangered species. This amount is $16,684,000
above the 2009 appropriation and $10,500,000 above the request.
The recommendation includes $2,989,000 for fixed cost
increases, $1,500,000 for polar bear consultations and
recovery, $1,500,000 for the President's energy initiative, and
$395,000 for internal transfers, all of which were included in
the budget request.
The Committee also recommends general program increases of
$1,000,000 for listing and $1,000,000 for critical habitat,
$500,000 to increase monitoring of bats for white nose bat
syndrome, $350,000 for Lahontan cutthroat trout, and $200,000
for additional wolf monitoring in the Western States. In
addition to these increases, there are three other
recommendations described in the following paragraphs:
$2,500,000 for endangered species consultations, $1,000,000 for
a newly authorized wolf livestock loss demonstration program,
and $3,000,000 for recovery of endangered birds in response to
the State of the Birds report.
The Committee notes the importance of section 7
consultations on future development and therefore recommends a
general program increase of $2,500,000 for Consultations and
HCPs to address deficiencies identified by the Government
Accountability Office [GAO]. The GAO reported in May 2009 that
Service biologists could not account for all required
monitoring reports in 63 percent of the consultation files they
investigated. The report states, ``The lack of systematic means
to track cumulative take for some species, and the resulting
gap in knowledge of the species' status, exposes the Service to
vulnerabilities, including the threat of litigation and
unobserved declines in species. The Service has been developing
various databases for more systematically tracking cumulative
take, though their development largely depends on resources not
yet available in the Service's budget.''
The Committee recommends $1,000,000 be provided for the
Wolf Livestock Loss Demonstration Project authorized by the
Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. These funds will be
used to provide grants to States and Indian tribes to assist
livestock producers in undertaking proactive, non-lethal
activities to reduce the risk of livestock loss due to
predation by wolves and to compensate livestock producers for
livestock losses due to such predation.
The Committee recommends an increase of $3,000,000 for the
Service to develop a comprehensive strategy, hire staff, and
begin on the ground projects to recover endangered and
threatened bird species with special emphasis on Hawaii. The
Committee notes the publication of the multi-agency report,
``The State of the Birds, United States of America, 2009'',
which provides a comprehensive overview of the crises and
challenges confronting birds in every part of the country. The
situation for native birds in Hawaii is especially dire. Of the
113 known unique species of Hawaiian birds, 71 have become
extinct and 31 more are federally listed as endangered or
threatened. Predator control and habitat preservation are
critical to the survival of the remaining species.
The Committee recommends $117,020,000 for habitat
conservation, an increase of $11,965,000 above the 2009
appropriation and $3,600,000 above the request. The
recommendation includes the requested increases of $7,500,000
for climate change, $275,000 for bald and golden eagle
permitting, and $1,640,000 for fixed costs and internal
transfers. In addition to the increases in the request, the
Committee restores $350,000 for the Mississippi State Natural
Resources Economic Enterprise Program and increases funding for
the Hawaii invasive species program from the current year
enacted level of $350,000 to $1,250,000. General program
increases of $500,000 for coastal conservation programs and
$250,000 for the national wetlands inventory are also
recommended.
Two new congressional initiatives are recommended for
habitat conservation. First, the Committee has provided
$750,000 to contract with the National Academy of Sciences to
conduct studies in support of sustainable water and
environmental management of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in
California.
The second initiative is a new cooperative effort to
control the spread of invasive milfoil in Maine lakes. In the
partners for fish and wildlife program, $500,000 is provided to
begin a partnership with Saint Joseph's College of Maine to,
among other things, develop a model mitigation program to
remove and prevent aquatic invasive species infestation; to
combat milfoil and help repair affected habitats in seven test
bed lakes; and to protect the habitat of fish and other
wildlife that are directly and indirectly affected by the
devastating invasion of milfoil in those lake ecosystems.
The environmental contaminants program is funded at
$14,000,000, an increase of $758,000 over 2009 and $500,000
above the request for a general program increase.
National Wildlife Refuge System.--The Committee recommends
an appropriation of $488,629,000 for operations and maintenance
of national wildlife refuges. This amount is $25,770,000 above
the 2009 enacted level and $5,350,000 above the request.
The recommendation fully funds requested increases of
$12,000,000 for climate change delivery, $2,000,000 for the
Secretary's youth corps initiative, and $6,420,000 for fixed
costs and internal transfers. In addition to the requested
increases, the Committee recommends general program increases
of $2,900,000 for wildlife and habitat management, $750,000 for
visitor services, and $500,000 for refuge law enforcement.
The continual problem of invasive rat infestation on
Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge must be solved in 2010.
The Service demonstrated its ability to accomplish rat
eradication on Rat Island, Alaska. The Committee provides
$1,200,000 in one-time project funding above the base funding
for Palmyra for the complete eradication of rats on the atoll.
In addition to the increases described above, the Committee
redirects $3,000,000 from deferred refuge maintenance to refuge
operations to be distributed as follows: $1,500,000 to wildlife
and habitat management, $1,000,000 to visitor services, and
$500,000 to refuge law enforcement.
Migratory Bird Management, Law Enforcement, and
International Conservation.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $133,573,000 for the migratory bird
management, law enforcement, and international conservation
programs of the Fish and Wildlife Service. This amount is
$6,856,000 above the 2009 enacted level and $3,480,000 over the
request.
The Committee recommends $54,025,000 for migratory bird
management, an increase of $3,179,000 above the enacted 2009
appropriation and $1,000,000 over the request. The
recommendation includes the requested increases for fixed
costs, bald and golden eagle permits, and youth conservation.
The Committee also provides an increase of $1,000,000 for
approved migratory bird joint ventures.
The Committee recommends $65,839,000 for law enforcement
operations, an increase of $3,172,000 above the enacted 2009
appropriation. The increase consists of $2,000,000 to recruit
and train new officers to fill vacancies resulting from
mandatory retirement of career officers and $1,199,000 for
fixed cost increases less $27,000 for the requested internal
transfer.
Recommended funding for international programs is
$13,709,000, an increase of $505,000 over the enacted level and
$480,000 over the request. The increases are $330,000 for
international conservation, $500,000 for international wildlife
trade, and $179,000 for fixed costs. The increases are
partially offset by the $504,000 in requested transfers. Total
funding available for international programs is as follows:
$6,750,000 for international conservation; $6,809,000 for
international wildlife trade; and $150,000 for the Caddo Lake
Ramsar Center in Texas.
Fisheries.--The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$143,695,000 for fisheries and aquatic resource conservation.
This amount is $11,864,000 above the 2009 enacted level and
$3,000,000 over the request. The Committee endorses the
$2,000,000 Klamath Dam removal study, the $2,000,000 national
fish habitat increase, the $2,200,000 increase for marine
mammals, $1,300,000 for youth and careers in nature, and
$1,919,000 for fixed costs as requested by the administration.
The Committee does not agree to eliminate funding for
freshwater mussel research and recovery and has restored
$500,000 for this program. In addition, the Committee provides
$2,000,000 for enhanced efforts to control the spread of and
eradicate quagga and zebra mussels. The Committee also
recommends a general program increase of $500,000 for national
fish hatchery operations.
The Committee strongly encourages the Department of
Interior and the Forest Service to coordinate with local
entities and to employ the resources necessary to prevent
Quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species from entering
the Lake Tahoe ecosystem.
The current budget structure for the fisheries program
consists of five budget subactivities which are, in the view of
the Committee, too many for a program with a common overriding
mission. The Committee recommends that funding for aquatic
invasive species and marine mammals be included within the
aquatic habitat and species conservation subactivity in future
budget requests.
Climate Change and Science Capability.--The Committee
recommends $20,000,000 for this new activity as requested.
General Administration.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $152,812,000 for general administration and
support for Service programs in 2010. This amount is $9,527,000
above the 2009 enacted level and $1,250,000 below the request.
The recommendation includes the requested increases of
$3,951,000 for fixed costs, $4,200,000 for the Secretary's
Youth Initiative, $401,000 for internal transfers, and $225,000
for electronic personnel records. The Committee does not
provide funds for the two proposed $1,000,000 increases for
youth hunting and fishing. The Committee also provides an
additional $750,000 for backlog maintenance needs at the
National Conservation Training Center [NCTC]. The Committee
recommends 2010 funding levels of $40,485,000 for central
office administration, $43,340,000 for regional office
administration, $36,440,000 for servicewide bill paying,
$7,537,000 for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and
$25,010,000 for NCTC.
The Service-wide proposal to sell excess property to offset
current costs is not included in the Committee recommendation.

Committee recommendation................................................
The Committee does not create the new grants to States
appropriation account for educating young hunters and anglers
as requested by the administration. The Committee notes that
increases totalling $13,000,000 for youth programs and careers
are provided in the Resource Management appropriation.
Furthermore, over $120,000,000 is available in 2010 for hunter
and angler education programs through the Federal Aid in
Wildlife Restoration and the Federal Aid in Sport Fish
Restoration accounts. The Committee believes this is a
sufficient amount and encourages the States to target generous
amounts for youth education programs.
National Park Service
Since the creation of Yellowstone National Park in 1872,
the National Park System has grown to encompass 390 sites
spanning more than 84 million acres in 49 States, the District
of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the
Virgin Islands. The National Park Service, created in 1916, is
charged with preserving these sites ``unimpaired for the
enjoyment of future generations.'' The Service and its more
than 20,000 employees also contribute to the protection of
other historical, cultural and recreational resources through a
variety of grant and technical assistance programs.

Within the increase, $52,540,000 has been provided for base
operational increases, while more than $40,000,000 has been
provided for full fixed costs. The following table provides a

Resource Stewardship.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $344,828,000 for resource stewardship, a
reduction of $2,500,000 below the budget request. Changes to
the request include a reduction of $2,000,000 to the climate
impacts initiative, leaving a total of $8,000,000. While the
Committee is fully supportive of the need to address the
effects of climate change, the Service has not provided enough
specific detail to justify the full expenditure of funds. As
the appropriations process continues, the Committee welcomes
the opportunity for further discussion with the Service. There
is an additional reduction of $500,000 to the ocean and coastal
resource stewardship initiative, leaving a total of $2,000,000.
As proposed, the Service would expend $1,500,000 in staff
salaries to implement a $1,000,000 program. The Committee
strongly suggests the Service reevaluate that ratio.
Visitor Services.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $247,386,000 for visitor services. This amount
is fully commensurate with the budget request, but includes the
following change in how funding is allocated. The Committee
directs that the interpretive renaissance plan be limited to
$375,000 to undertake the web learning component, and that
$1,000,000 be redirected toward the establishment of a pilot
program for the teaching of American history and civics in the
National Parks. The Service should work cooperatively with the
Department of Education in developing curriculum and facilitate
the process of bringing nationally renowned scholars to
historically significant Park units to instruct students and
teachers at the sites where many of the Nation's most important
events occurred. The Committee expects to receive a report on
the status of this pilot program within 90 days after the
enactment of this act. Within the request, $5,000,000 has been
provided for the youth internship program, part of the
department's 21st Century Youth Conservation Corps Initiative.
The Committee applauds the Secretary's efforts to proactively
reach out to high school and college-age youth and introduce
those students to careers in cultural and natural resource
management.
Park Protection.--The Committee recommends an appropriation
of $368,698,000 for park protection activities. This amount is
fully commensurate with the budget request. Included in the
request and the amount provided is $102,647,000 for operations
of the U.S. Park Police, an increase of $5,000,000 over the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level. This increase will allow the
Service to achieve the target of 630 sworn officers, as well as
implement the Inspector General recommendations on
administrative reforms. In addition, the Committee notes that
the budget request has retained $3,300,000 in base funding
provided in the fiscal year 2009 Interior appropriations bill
for the Service's contribution of an expanded law enforcement
effort to eradicate illegal drug operations on Service lands.
Marijuana cultivation on public and tribal land in California
and other Western States is significant. These illegal
activities are being carried out by foreign drug trafficking
organizations using armed, illegal aliens to grow and tend
these gardens. This activity creates safety concerns for
visitors, employees, and residents, and causes significant
damage to natural resources. The Service is directed to report
semi-annually on the progress being made in this area.
Facility Maintenance and Operations.--The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $703,013,000 for facility
maintenance and operations, a reduction of $2,207,000 below the
budget request. The change to the request is a reduction of
$2,207,000 in facility maintenance for emergency storm damage
preparedness. The Committee notes that an increase of
$1,000,000 for this activity is provided for under the
Construction account, which is where this line item is properly
carried.
Park Support.--The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$441,854,000 for park support activities. This amount is fully
commensurate with the budget request.
External Administrative Costs.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $155,530,000 for external administrative
costs. This amount is fully commensurate with the budget
request.
Mojave National Preserve Water Rights.--The Committee is
concerned with a 99-year lease agreement announced in September
2008 by Cadiz, Inc. and the Arizona & California Railroad
Company, which purports to allow Cadiz to utilize a portion of
the railroad's right-of-way for an underground water conveyance
pipeline. The Committee is aware of a recent Federal court
decision clarifying that rights of way such as this one granted
under the 1875 General Railroad Right of Way Act are limited to
uses for railroad purposes. Home on the Range v. AT&T; Corp.,
386 F. Supp. 2d 999 (S.D. Ind. 2005) (rejecting 96 ID 439-445,
M-3694 (1989)). Accordingly, the Committee believes that the
conveyance of water is not within the scope of the easement
granted to the Arizona & California Railroad Company, and has
included bill language in section 109 directing the Department
of the Interior to consider the decision and analysis in Home
on the Range in determining whether the contract with Cadiz
exceeds the rights granted to the Railroad under its Right of
Way. The provision also retains language limiting funding for
any proposal to approve specified rights-of-way or similar
authorizations on the Mojave National Preserve or lands managed
by the Needles Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park.--The Committee recognizes
that there is a significant elk overpopulation problem at the
Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. The Committee
is nevertheless concerned that the National Park Service has
spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars considering a
number of proposed solutions that are not protective of U.S.
taxpayer dollars and are lacking in common sense. The Committee
has therefore included language in section 119 which
effectively directs the National Park Service to allow licensed
North Dakota hunters to be deputized and to volunteer to cull
the elk population in the Park. Each volunteer shall also be
authorized to keep the meat of the elk he or she has culled.
The approach has been used successfully at Grand Teton National
Park and the Committee is therefore directing the Secretary of
the Interior to follow the same common-sense approach to the
elk overpopulation at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. As
at Grand Teton, each volunteer would be allowed to cull a
single elk and to keep its meat, and the Secretary would have
the discretion to select as many volunteers as necessary to
sufficiently cull the elk overpopulation at the Park. Section
119 does not impinge on the authority of the National Park
Service to test culled elk for chronic wasting disease, and the
provision applies only to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park
and to no other national parks.
Point Reyes National Seashore.--The Committee has included
language in section 120 of the of the bill which directs the
Secretary of the Interior to extend the existing authorization
of Drake's Bay Oyster Company for a period of 10 years from
November 30, 2012. The Committee understands that the National
Academy of Sciences [NAS] is producing a report expected in
fall 2009 that may address best management practices for
oystering operations, control and eradication of tunicate
Didemnum, and minimization of disturbance to marine mammals.
The Committee directs the Service to provide a report, no later
than 60 days after the NAS study is made public, identifying
any further research required to better manage the oystering
maritime operations sustainably and economically within the
Estero ecosystem. Further, the Committee directs the Service,
within 60 days of enactment of this act, to prepare a report on
the remaining 6,251 acres of potential wilderness (see November
18, 1999, page 63057 Notice of Designation of Potential
Wilderness, Point Reyes National Seashore.)
Sequoia National Park.--The Committee is aware that the
Department of the Interior has been negotiating the renewal
terms of a special use permit for the Kaweah hydroelectric
project inside Sequoia National Park. Initial proposals from
the department would have resulted in a 2,545 percent fee
increase to the operator. The Committee finds that situation
unacceptable. As such, the Committee directs the department to
continue its negotiations in an effort to reach a fair, cost-
effective agreement for the terms of a 10-year special use
permit.
Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park.--The
Committee directs that $250,000 shall be made available to
undertake the preparation of the Paterson Great Falls NHP
general management plan.

Appropriations, 2009....................................................
Budget estimate, 2010................................... $25,000,000
House allowance......................................... 25,000,000
Committee recommendation................................................
The Committee has not recommended funding for Park
Partnership Project Grants, as proposed in the budget request.
While the Committee is aware that similar funding was provided
in the fiscal year 2008 appropriation, two intervening factors
have substantially altered the fiscal landscape. First,
Congress recently provided the Service with $735,000,000
through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Clearly,
not all of the funds provided in the Recovery Act will be, or
could be, used for the type of projects that would otherwise be
proposed through this appropriation, but a substantial amount
of Recovery Act funding will be used for precisely this type of
project. Secondly, the Committee notes that for the last 3
years, the Service has carried an average unobligated balance
in the Recreation Fee program of approximately $270,000,000 per
year. Indeed, the current unobligated balance is $255,000,000.
The Committee believes that, before further funds are provided
for park-specific projects, Recovery Act funds and Recreation
Fee funds must be fully utilized.
NATIONAL RECREATION AND PRESERVATION
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $59,684,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 53,908,000
House allowance......................................... 59,386,000
Committee recommendation................................ 67,438,000
The Committee recommends a total appropriation of
$67,438,000 for the National Recreation and Preservation
account. This amount is $7,754,000 above the fiscal year 2009
level and $13,530,000 above the budget request. The following
table provides a comparison of the budget estimate and the
Committee's recommendation in the major programmatic areas.
Changes to the request are detailed following the table.

Cultural Programs.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $26,026,000 for cultural programs, an increase
of $3,000,000 over the budget request. The increase is for
additional grants as authorized by Public Law 109-441, the
Japanese American Confinement Site grant program.
Heritage Area Partnership Program.--The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $17,741,000 for the heritage
area program, an increase of $2,005,000 over the budget
request. This level of funding would allow the Service to
continue funding established Heritage Areas at the current
enacted level; provide base funding for those authorized Areas
without an approved management plan; and provide a small
increase for those Areas that have had their management plan
approved during the past year.
Preserve America.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $3,175,000 for the Preserve America program.
The Committee has provided this funding under the National
Recreation and Preservation account instead of under the
Historic Preservation Fund account as proposed. As noted in the
request, the Preserve America program is focused on heritage
tourism and the Committee believes that such activities are
more properly accounted for under this heading.
Statutory or Contractual Aid.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $5,350,000 for the statutory or contractual
aid program, an increase of $5,350,000 above the budget
request. These funds are allocated to the following
organizations for the purpose of operating, managing and
preserving resources as authorized by law. The Committee
directs that funding for the Hudson-Champlain Quadricentennial
be divided equally between the qualifying entities.

Save America's Treasures.--As in past years, the Committee
has been virtually overwhelmed with funding requests, both in
terms of the number of requests submitted and the dollar value
of the projects requested. The Committee believes that this
attests to the widespread national support that this program

ENERGY AND MINERALS
U.S. Geological Survey
Established in 1879, the U.S. Geological Survey [USGS]
serves as the Earth and natural science research bureau for the
Department of the Interior and is the only integrated natural
resources research bureau in the Federal Government. The Survey
conducts research, monitoring, and assessments to contribute to
understanding America's lands, water, and biological resources.
Its research and data products support the Department's
resource and land management needs and also provide the water,
biological, energy, and mineral resources information needed by
other Federal, State, tribal, and local government agencies to
guide planning, management, and regulatory programs. More than
9,000 scientists, technicians, and support staff of the USGS
are located in nearly 400 offices in every State and in several
foreign countries throughout the world. The USGS leverages its
resources and expertise in partnership with more than 2,000
agencies of Federal, State, local, and tribal governments; the
academic community; non-governmental organizations; and the
private sector.
SURVEYS, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESEARCH
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $1,043,803,000
Emergency supplementals, 2009........................... 140,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,097,844,000
House allowance......................................... 1,105,744,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,104,340,000
The Committee recommends $1,104,340,000 for the U.S.
Geological Survey for surveys, investigations and research, an
increase of $60,537,000 above the fiscal year 2009 non-
emergency funding level and $6,496,000 above the budget
request.
Geographic Research, Investigations, and Remote Sensing.--
The Committee recommends $143,940,000 for geographic research,
investigations and remote sensing activities, the same amount
as the budget request. In agreement with the request, the
Committee has accepted the administration's proposal to return
the national geospatial program and funding of $68,001,000 to
this activity from the enterprise information activity. Both
the budget request and the Committee recommendation include a
program increase above the current year enacted level of
$300,000 for a biofuels initiative.
Geologic Hazards, Processes, and Research.--The Committee
recommends $247,881,000 for geologic hazards, resources and
processes, an increase of $900,000 above the budget request.
The Committee has included an amount of $250,000 to initiate
and support a cooperative partnership between the University of
Hawaii-Manoa and the USGS Hawaii Volcano Observatory. The
agreement is intended to formalize the collaborative
relationship that has been established between the two entities
for monitoring, hazards assessments and other research in an
area of highly active volcanoes. An amount of $650,000 has been
included to continue the Nye County, Nevada minerals assessment
project that was initiated last year. The budget request and
the Committee's recommendation include increases above the
enacted level of $1,000,000 to expand extended continental
shelf studies, and $1,475,000 for wind, solar, geothermal, and
biofuels research.
Water Resources Investigations.--The Committee recommends
$231,027,000 for water resources investigations, an increase of
$3,146,000 above the budget request. Additional funds are
provided for the following: $900,000 to continue the San Diego,
California Formation mapping project; $500,000 to continue
United States-Mexico transboundary aquifer assessments;
$400,000 to continue the Survey's participation in the work of
the Long-term Estuary Assessment Group, Louisiana; $346,000
above the $154,000 included in the budget proposal to provide a
total of $500,000 for monitoring activities and toxic studies
in the Lake Champlain Basin; $500,000 for a water resources
assessment of Maryland's Coastal Plain and Piedmont aquifer
systems; and $500,000 to continue well monitoring and other
water resources assessments in Hawaii. The budget request and
the Committee's recommendation include increases above the
enacted level of $5,000,000 to enhance the National Streamgage
Network, and $200,000 for research on the environmental effects
of biofuels development.
Biological Research.--The Committee recommends an amount of
$202,724,000 for biological research, an increase of $3,450,000
above the budget request. Changes to the budget request include
programmatic increases of $750,000 for general genetics and
genomic research, $600,000 for tropical ecosystems and
watershed health research, and $750,000 for the National
Biological Information Infrastructure [NBII]. The increase in
funding for the NBII is intended to support work in the highest
priority areas of invasive species, pollinators, and protected
area information. The NBII has sustained a series of budget
reductions in recent years, which the Committee has attempted
to partially address with this increase. Other increases above
the request include $1,000,000 to continue San Francisco,
California Salt Ponds monitoring and research, and $350,000 for
the development and testing of protocols for monitoring
invasive species, including zebra mussels, in the Columbia
River Basin in collaboration with Washington State University
and its partners. The budget request and the Committee's
recommendation for biological research include the following
increases above the current year enacted level: $4,200,000 for
Arctic ecosystems research, $5,000,000 to provide additional
support for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service climate change
activities, $1,025,000 to study the effects of renewable energy
sources on ecosystems and wildlife populations, and $2,000,000
for the Cooperative Research Units.
Enterprise Information.--The Committee recommends
$44,969,000 for enterprise information activities, a decrease
of $1,000,000 from the budget request. The Committee has
provided $1,000,000 for the 21st Century Youth Conservation
Corps Initiative rather than the $2,000,000 included in the
budget proposal. In agreement with the budget request, the
Committee has transferred $68,001,000 from enterprise
information to the geographic research, investigations and
remote sensing activity where it is more appropriately housed.
Global Climate Change.--The Committee recommends
$58,177,000 for global climate change activities, the same
amount as the budget request. Increases above the current year
enacted level include $5,000,000 for climate change science,
$5,000,000 for the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science
Center, and $7,000,000 to expand carbon sequestration research.
As part of its Global Climate Change agenda the committee
encourages USGS to consider pursuing research on sensitive
landscapes which can offer early indications that foreshadow
additional evaluation needs associated with climate change
impacts. In particular, additional monitoring and observation
of aquifers such as those in the High Plains Grass Lands may be
useful and provide early indications of climate change and its
impact on rangelands, agricultural lands and vegetation.
Science Support.--The Committee recommends $69,225,000 for
bureau operations, the same amount as the budget request.
Facilities.--The Committee recommends $106,397,000 for the
Survey's facilities program, the same amount as the budget
request.
Minerals Management Service
The Minerals Management Service oversees 1.76 billion acres
of the Outer Continental Shelf [OCS], managing offshore energy
and minerals while protecting the human, marine, and coastal
environments through advanced science and technology research.
The OCS provides 27 percent of oil and almost 14 percent of
natural gas produced domestically, and sand used for coastal
restoration. Also within MMS, the Minerals Revenue Management
[MRM] program collects, accounts for, and disburses revenues
from mineral leases on OCS, Federal, and American Indian lands.
Through the work of MRM, MMS processes nearly $1,000,000,000
mineral revenue transactions per month from more then 29,000
producing leases, and it manages and distributes, on average,
over $13,000,000,000 of mineral revenues collected annually.
Since its inception in 1982, MMS has collected and
distributed more than $200,000,000,000 in revenues from onshore
and offshore lands. Over the past 5 years, disbursements have
averaged over $13,000,000,000 per year. The MMS distribution of
mineral revenues to the U.S. Treasury is one of the Federal
Government's greatest sources of non-tax income.

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $157,373,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 174,317,000
House allowance......................................... 174,317,000
Committee recommendation................................ 175,217,000
The Committee recommends $175,217,000 for royalty and
offshore minerals management, which is an increase of
$17,844,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
$900,000 above the budget request. In addition, the Committee
estimates $166,730,000 in offsetting collections, which is an
increase of $20,000,000 above the previous year.
The following table provides a comparison of the budget
estimate and the Committee's recommendation in the major
programmatic areas.

Total, royalty and offshore minerals management.. 174,317,000 175,217,000 +900,000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes to the 2009 enacted level include the addition of
$6,520,000 to meet fixed cost increases and programmatic
changes totaling $30,424,000. These increases are offset by the
estimated increase in receipts of $20,000,000 over 2009. The
fixed cost and programmatic increases are applied to the
subactivities identified in the budget request.
The program changes recommended by the Committee are the
same as those included in the budget request with the addition
of one ongoing program which the budget proposed for
discontinuation. The Committee does not agree to eliminate
funding for the Center for Marine Resources and Environment in
Mississippi and provides $900,000 in 2010.
The Committee recommendation provides full funding of the
budget request for the following program increases: $9,160,000
for the leasing and environmental program; $1,100,000 for the
resource evaluation program; $2,300,000 for the regulatory
program and $15,640,000 for renewable energy.

Budget estimate, 2010................................... 6,303,000
House allowance......................................... 6,303,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,303,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,303,000 for
oil spill research, which is equal to the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and the budget request.
Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
[OSM] was established in 1977 to oversee and carry out the
requirements of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act
[SMCRA] in concert with States and Indian tribes. OSM's primary
objectives are to ensure coal mining activities are conducted
in a manner that protects citizens and the environment during
mining, ensure the land is properly reclaimed, and mitigate
effects of past mining by reclaiming abandoned coal mines. OSM
addresses its mission with a mix of grants to States and tribes
to carry out their own regulatory and reclamation programs, and
the administration of OSM's own regulatory and reclamation
programs.
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act Amendments
of 2006 (Public Law 109-432) revised the mine reclamation fee
distribution mechanism beginning in fiscal year 2008. State and
tribal reclamation grants are now provided under mandatory
appropriations instead of this bill.

Committee recommendation................................ 127,180,000
The Committee recommends a total appropriation of
$127,180,000 for the regulation and technology account. This
amount is $7,024,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the
same as the budget request.
The Committee has included a $5,778,000 increase for State
programs and $1,246,000 for fixed costs, as included in the
request.

Budget estimate, 2010................................... 32,088,000
House allowance......................................... 32,088,000
Committee recommendation................................ 39,588,000
The Committee recommends a total appropriation of
$39,588,000 for the abandoned mine reclamation fund. This
amount is $13,358,000 below the 2009 enacted level and
$7,500,000 over the budget request. There is an increase of
$642,000 for fixed costs.
The Committee rejects the proposal in the budget request to
permanently discontinue funding for State emergency grants and
Federal emergency projects. The SMCRA amendments did not
provide a permanent source of funding for emergency programs,
thus they must continue to be funded with discretionary
appropriations. However, the Committee is aware that the
emergency abandoned mine land account has a large unobligated
balance. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of
$14,000,000 below the enacted level which should provide
sufficient funding for fiscal year 2010.

estimate and the Committee's recommendation in the major
programmatic areas.

INDIAN AFFAIRS
Bureau of Indian Affairs
The Bureau of Indian Affairs [BIA] was founded in 1824 to
uphold a Government-to-government relationship between the
Federal Government and tribal entities. The Federal Government
retained trust responsibility for individual Indians and tribes
as a result of formal treaties and agreements with Native
Americans.
The Bureau provides services directly or through contracts,
grants, or compacts to a population of 1.5 million American
Indians and Alaska Natives who are members of 562 federally
recognized Indian tribes in the lower 48 States and Alaska.
Programs administered by the BIA and Tribes include an
education system for almost 48,000 elementary and secondary
students; 28 tribal colleges, universities and post secondary
schools; social services; natural resource management on 56
million acres of trust land; economic development; law
enforcement; administration of tribal courts; implementation of
land and water claim settlements; replacement and repair of
schools; repair and maintenance of roads and bridges; and
repair of structural deficiencies on high hazard dams.

This amount is $850,000 above the budget request and includes
an increase of that amount in the tribal management and
development program, of which $350,000 is for the Upper
Columbia United Tribes to comply with Federal resource
management mandates, and $500,000 is for the Cheyenne River
Sioux Tribe's prairie management program.
Real Estate Services.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $152,493,000 for real estate services. This
amount is commensurate with the budget request.
Education.--The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$797,900,000 for education programs. This amount is $1,600,000
above the budget request and includes an increase of that
amount in post secondary programs, of which $1,000,000 is a
general program increase for Haskell and SIPI, the two Bureau-
operated colleges, and $600,000 is a general program increase
for UTTC and NTC, the two tribally operated technical colleges.
In both cases, the increases are to be divided proportionally
between the respective schools. The Committee also notes that
included in the overall appropriation for education programs is
$50,000,000 of postsecondary school forward funding as
requested by the Bureau.
Public Safety and Justice.--The Committee recommends an
appropriation of $328,855,000 for public safety and justice.
This amount is $25,000,000 above the budget request, and
represents half of the $50,000,000 of additional funding the
Committee is providing for increased law enforcement activities
in Indian country. The Committee has provided language in the
bill directing that these funds shall be for public safety and
justice programs as authorized by the Emergency Fund for Indian
Safety and Health, established by section 601 of Public Law
110-293. It is the Committee's intent that these funds shall be
made available to the Bureau and would be allocated as follows:
$20,000,000 in law enforcement, of which $10,000,000 is for
criminal investigations and police services; $5,000,000 is for
detention and corrections; $1,000,000 is for law enforcement
special initiatives; $1,000,000 is for additional training
classes at the Indian Police Academy; and $3,000,000 is for
program management. Additional changes include an increase of
$5,000,000 for tribal courts. The Committee is providing these
funds to augment the Bureau's planned increases in police
officers, detention and correctional center officers, and other
costs associated with training officers and housing offenders.
The Committee notes that within the funds provided,
$500,000 is being made available as requested for the Indian
Police Academy's outreach initiative. The Academy is working to
establish satellite training programs in conjunction with
universities, including United Tribes Technical College in
Bismarck, North Dakota. The Committee recognizes the high crime
rate in Indian country and the need for more Indian law
enforcement personnel. Sadly, less than 3,000 tribal and BIA
officers patrol more than 56 million acres of Indian land. The
Indian Police Academy graduates only 80 new officers each year
and has an annual attrition rate of 47 percent. The Committee
applauds the Bureau for taking this important first step in
establishing increased training opportunities in areas closer
to the duty stations of the officers being trained, and directs
BIA to provide a strategy and timeline for boosting Indian law
enforcement training, including the possible addition of a
second police academy in the Northern Great Plains.
Community and Economic Development.--The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $43,910,000 for community and
economic development. This amount is commensurate with the
budget request.
Executive Direction and Administrative Services.--The
Committee recommends an appropriation of $267,915,000 for
executive direction and administrative services. This amount is
commensurate with the budget request.
Other Matters.--The Committee is concerned with the rate of
progress being made in addressing the management and funding
deficiencies in the Wapato irrigation project, located near
Yakima, Washington. The Committee notes a 2006 report by the
Government Accountability Office which identified various
concerns related to project management, deferred maintenance,
and financial stability. The Committee directs the Bureau to
report by January 1, 2010, on specific short term and long term
actions necessary to alleviate these problems and a schedule
for implementation.

infestation in Western States and the Lower Colorado River,
which poses a serious threat to Federal, State, and local
natural resources and infrastructure. The Committee directs the
Secretary to develop an Invasive Mussel Control Plan for both
quagga and zebra mussels, and to provide the Committee a
preliminary plan within 90 days and a final plan no later than
180 days following enactment of this act.
The Committee has provided bill language allowing the
Secretary to make adjustments to prior year payments under the
Payments In Lieu of Taxes program to account for corrected data
that comes in from Federal agencies.
Insular Affairs
The Office of Insular Affairs [OIA] was established on
August 4, 1995 through Secretarial Order No. 3191, which also
abolished the former Office of Territorial and International
Affairs. OIA has administrative responsibility for coordinating
Federal policy in the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands [CNMI], and oversight of Federal programs and
funds in the freely associated states of the Federated States
of Micronesia [FSM], the Republic of the Marshall Islands
[RMI], and the Republic of Palau.
Following the expiration of the first Compact of Free
Association in 2003, a new Compact of Free Association was
negotiated between the United States and the states of FSM and
RMI. Under the Compact, the status of free association
recognizes each Freely Associated State as a sovereign state
with the capacity to conduct foreign affairs consistent with
the terms of the Compact. The Compact places full
responsibility for defense with the United States. The Compact
also provides grant funds and Federal program assistance,
principally through the Department of the Interior.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Committee recommends funding fire preparedness at
$289,192,000, an increase of $7,425,000 over the 2009
appropriation level. The increase is for fixed costs. The
Committee does not agree to offset the base budget with
$3,740,000 in cuts as proposed in the budget request.
Wildland fire suppression is funded at the 10-year average
cost of $369,797,000, which is an increase of $34,606,000 over
the 2009 appropriation and the same as the request.
Hazardous fuels reduction is provided $206,206,000, an
increase of $3,153,000 above the 2009 appropriation. The
Committee does not agree to the proposed program cut of
$1,117,000.
Burned area rehabilitation is funded at the 2009
appropriation and budget request level of $20,305,000.
The Committee recommends funding for fire facilities, joint
fire science, and rural fire assistance at the request level.
The Committee continues to be disappointed that the Forest
Service and Department of the Interior have failed to produce
and deploy a fire preparedness planning tool to replace the
systems that were in place until 2004. The Fire Program
Analysis system has been repeatedly promoted by both agencies
as the key to determining optimal staffing and budget levels
for the past 5 years, yet the agencies have yet to produce a
working system. It is imperative that both agencies expedite
development of the system in order to justify further
investment beyond the current fiscal year.
PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXES
On October 3, 2008, Congress enacted the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008, Public Law 110-343, which authorized
counties to receive their full PILT entitlement from 2008
through 2012. These funds are now available without further
appropriation, and will amount to approximately $382,000,000
for fiscal year 2010. The Committee has therefore not included
discretionary funding in this account.
CENTRAL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS FUND
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $10,148,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 10,175,000
House allowance......................................... 10,175,000
Committee recommendation................................ 10,175,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,175,000
for the central hazardous materials fund, which is $27,000
above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, and equal to the
budget request.
NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND RESTORATION
The mission of the natural resource damage assessment and
restoration program is to restore natural resources injured as
a result of oil spills or hazardous substance releases into the
environment. As authorized in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act [CERCLA], the Clean
Water Act, and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, injuries to
natural resources that the Department of the Interior manages
or controls are assessed and appropriate restoration projects
are identified. Recoveries from potentially responsible
parties, either through negotiated settlements or legal
actions, are used to finance restoration of the injured
resources. The Restoration Program Office coordinates the
various technical, scientific, legal, and economic aspects of
this work, as well as the various departmental bureaus and
offices involved.
NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT FUND
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $6,338,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 6,462,000
House allowance......................................... 6,462,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,462,000
The Committee recommends a total appropriation of
$6,462,000 for the natural resource damage assessment fund.
This amount is $124,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and
equal to the budget request. The increase is for fixed costs.

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $73,435,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 85,823,000
House allowance......................................... 75,823,000
Committee recommendation................................ 85,823,000
The Committee recommends a total appropriation of
$85,823,000 for the Working Capital Fund. This amount is equal
to the budget request and will allow the Department to remain
on schedule with the deployment of the Financial and Business
Management System.
General Provisions
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
The Committee has included in title I of the bill,
``General Provisions, Department of the Interior'', various
legislative provisions affecting the Department. Several of
these provisions have been carried in previous years and others
are newly proposed this year. The provisions are:
Sec. 101. Provides Secretarial authority for the intra-
bureau transfer of program funds for expenditures in cases of
emergency when all other emergency funds are exhausted.

cooperative agreements where such agreements are in the
interest of the Department of the Interior.
Sec. 111. Provides the Department of the Interior with
authority to collect civil and criminal penalties related to
inspection, accounting, and payments for onshore and offshore
solid mineral, geothermal, and alternative energy projects.

contributions to complete environmental clearances prior to
energy exploration and production.
Sec. 122. Authorizes the National Park Service to undertake
a special resource study of the Honouliuli internment camp site
in Hawaii.
TITLE II
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
Program Description
The Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] was created
through Executive Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970, designed
to consolidate certain Federal Government environmental
activities into a single agency. The plan was submitted by the
President to the Congress on July 8, 1970, and the Agency was
established as an independent agency in the executive branch on
December 2, 1970, by consolidating 15 components from 5
departments and independent agencies.
A description of EPA's pollution control programs by media
follows:
Air.--The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 authorize a
national program of air pollution research, regulation,
prevention, and enforcement activities.
Water Quality.--The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
amended, provides the framework for protection of the Nation's
surface waters. The law recognizes that it is the primary
responsibility of the States to prevent, reduce, and eliminate
water pollution. The States determine the desired uses for
their waters, set standards, identify current uses and, where
uses are being impaired or threatened, develop plans for the
protection or restoration of the designated use. They implement
the plans through control programs such as permitting and
enforcement, construction of municipal waste water treatment
works, and nonpoint source control practices. The CWA also
regulates discharge of dredge or fill material into waters of
the United States, including wetlands.
Drinking Water.--The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, as
amended in 1996, charges EPA with the responsibility of
implementing a program to assure that the Nation's public
drinking water supplies are free of contamination that may pose
a human health risk, and to protect and prevent the
endangerment of ground water resources which serve as drinking
water supplies.
Hazardous Waste.--The Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act of 1976 mandated EPA to develop a regulatory program to
protect human health and the environment from improper
hazardous waste disposal practices. The RCRA Program manages
hazardous wastes from generation through disposal.
EPA's responsibilities and authorities to manage hazardous
waste were greatly expanded under the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984. Not only did the regulated universe of
wastes and facilities dealing with hazardous waste increase
significantly, but past mismanagement practices, in particular
prior releases at inactive hazardous and solid waste management
units, were to be identified and corrective action taken. The
1984 amendments also authorized a regulatory and implementation
program directed to owners and operators of underground storage
tanks.
Pesticides.--The objective of the Pesticide Program is to
protect the public health and the environment from unreasonable
risks while permitting the use of necessary pest control
approaches. This objective is pursued by EPA under the Food
Quality Protection Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
and the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 through
three principal means: (1) review of existing and new pesticide
products; (2) enforcement of pesticide use rules; and (3)
research and development to reinforce the ability to evaluate
the risks and benefits of pesticides.
Radiation.--The radiation program's major emphasis is to
minimize the exposure of persons to ionizing radiation, whether
from naturally occurring sources, from medical or industrial
applications, nuclear power sources, or weapons development.
Toxic Substances.--The Toxic Substances Control Act
establishes a program to stimulate the development of adequate
data on the effects of chemical substances on health and the
environment, and institute control action for those chemicals
which present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. The act's coverage affects more than 60,000
chemicals currently in commerce, and all new chemicals.
Multimedia.--Multimedia activities are designed to support
programs where the problems, tools, and results are cross media
and must be integrated to effect results. This integrated
program encompasses the Agency's research, enforcement, and
abatement activities.
Superfund.--The Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 established a national
program to protect public health and the environment from the
threats posed by inactive hazardous waste sites and
uncontrolled spills of hazardous substances. The original
statute was amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986. Under these authorities, EPA
manages a hazardous waste site cleanup program including
emergency response and long-term remediation.
Brownfields.--The Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 as amended by the Small
Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of
2002 establishes a national program to assess, cleanup, and
provide support to States, Tribes, local communities, and other
stakeholders to work together to reuse Brownfields.
Leaking Underground Storage Tanks.--The Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 established the
leaking underground storage tank [LUST] trust fund to conduct
corrective actions for releases from leaking underground
storage tanks that contain petroleum or other hazardous
substances. EPA implements the LUST response program primarily
through cooperative agreements with the States.
committee recommendation
The Committee recommends $10,196,736,000 for the
Environmental Protection Agency, a decrease of $299,264,000
from the request and increase of $2,551,062,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency level. The Committee
proposes to offset this amount by rescinding $40,000,000 of
prior-year balances and has included language to this effect in
the Administrative Provisions section.

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $790,051,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 842,349,000
House allowance......................................... 849,649,000
Committee recommendation................................ 842,799,000
program description
EPA's ``Science and technology'' account provides funding
for the scientific knowledge and tools necessary to support
decisions on preventing, regulating, and abating environmental
pollution and to advance the base of understanding on
environmental sciences. These efforts are conducted through
contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements with
universities, industries, other private commercial firms,
nonprofit organizations, State and local governments, and
Federal agencies, as well as through work performed at EPA's
laboratories and various field stations and field offices. In
addition, Hazardous Substance Superfund Trust Fund resources
are transferred to this account directly from the Hazardous
Substance Superfund.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $842,799,000 for science and
technology programs, an increase of $450,000 above the request
and an increase of $52,748,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level.
Consistent with the budget request, the Committee
recommends $26,834,000 be paid from the Hazardous Substance
Superfund account to fund ongoing research activities
authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.
The Committee's recommended changes to the budget request
are detailed below.
Homeland Security.--The Committee has included $18,726,000
for the Water Security Initiative program, a decrease of
$5,000,000 below the request. The Committee notes that this
level represents a 25 percent increase in funding for the
program over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The
recommendation fully funds the remaining two Water Security
utility pilot projects, bringing the total to five pilot
projects, and provides a $2,000,000 increase above the enacted
level for related monitoring, evaluation and research
activities.
Research: Special Priorities.--The Committee has not agreed
to the request to terminate funds for special priorities and
has included $5,450,000 for extramural research grants to fund
high-priority research by EPA partners on water quality and
availability issues. These funds shall be awarded
competitively. Priority should be given to partners that
demonstrate a national scope for their programs.
Air Toxics Research.--The Committee continues to be
concerned about the effects that toxic substances found in air
pollution have on human health and the environment, including
public health impacts such as asthma and other respiratory
diseases. The Committees urges the Agency to expand its air
toxics research portfolio and encourages the Office of Research
and Development to consider collaborations with institutions
such as the Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Research
Center to further this research, as authorized by the Clean Air
Act Amendments of 1990.
Biocrude Research.--The Committee encourages the Agency to
work with its partners to research the potential of producing
biocrude from wastewater treatment plants that allow the
production of renewable fuels through traditional petroleum
refining techniques.
Health Effects of Fuel Efficiency and Emission Reduction
Efforts.--The Committee is aware that efforts to improve fuel
efficiency and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will, in
turn, require careful evaluation for potential consequences for
human health and the environment. The Committee encourages the
EPA to work with extramural research partners and explore ways
to strengthen human health research and assessment efforts
related to alternative fuels and emission reduction
technologies.
Impacts of Climate Change and Renewable Energy on Coastal
Environments.--The Committee encourages the Agency to work in
close collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and its
science laboratories to ensure that there is appropriate
coordination in addressing climate change and renewable energy
challenges that impact the Nation's waters and coastal
environments.
Environmental Programs and Management
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $2,392,079,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 2,940,564,000
House allowance......................................... 3,022,054,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,878,780,000
program description
The Agency's ``Environmental programs and management''
account includes the development of environmental standards;
monitoring and surveillance of pollution conditions; direct
Federal pollution control planning; technical assistance to
pollution control agencies and organizations; preparation of
environmental impact statements; enforcement and compliance
assurance; and assistance to Federal agencies in complying with
environmental standards and ensuring that their activities have
minimal environmental impact. It provides personnel
compensation, benefits, and travel and other administrative
expenses for all agency programs except Hazardous Substance
Superfund, LUST, Science and Technology, Oil Spill Response,
and OIG.
committee recommendation
The Committee recommends $2,878,780,000 for environmental
programs and management activities, a decrease of $61,784,000
below the budget request and an increase of $486,701,000 above
the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. Changes to the request are
detailed below:
Brownfields.--The Committee's recommendation includes
$23,904,000 for Brownfields program operations, a decrease of
$1,350,000 below the request. The Committee has not agreed to
the budget request to provide additional overhead related to
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111-5).
The Committee notes that it has already provided $3,500,000 to
the Agency for this purpose through that act.
Climate Protection.--The Committee strongly supports the
administration's efforts to increase climate protection
programs and has provided the requested $111,634,000 for these
activities. In particular, the Committee appreciates full
funding of $17,005,000 to implement the Greenhouse Gas
Reporting Rule, as required by Public Law 111-8. The Committee
is aware that the Agency is working to finalize the rule but is
likely to miss the statutory deadline of June 26, 2009 to
promulgate the final rule. Data collected by this rule is
essential to inform future climate policy, and the Committee
directs the Agency to finalize the rule on a schedule that will
ensure data collection can begin no later than January 1, 2010.
Environmental Protection: Special Priorities.--The
Committee has included $16,000,000 to fund high-priority
environmental protection grants on a competitive basis. These
funds shall be used for grants to organizations that fund
technical assistance programs for water quality and
availability issues, including helping water systems comply
with Federal water quality standards. Priority shall be given
to organizations whose activities demonstrate a national scope.
Geographic Programs.--The Committee has provided
$478,696,000 for Geographic Programs, a decrease of $72,434,000
from the request. Changes to the budget request are as follows:
--$400,000,000 for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a
decrease of $75,000,000 below the request. The
Committee has agreed to consolidate and expand funding
for the Agency's Great Lakes National Program Office
and Great Lakes Legacy Act programs within this new
program-project. Additional details are provided below.
--$6,000,000 to continue competitive grants to restore the
San Francisco Bay watershed, an increase of $1,000,000
above the request.
--$3,000,000 to continue Lake Champlain restoration
activities, an increase of $1,566,000 above the
request.
Information Exchange.--The Committee has agreed to the
budget request and provided $131,825,000 for information
exchange programs. As in prior years, the Committee directs the
Agency to follow the statutory formula when allocating funds
for environmental education activities.
Legal/Science/Regulatory/Economic Review.--The Committee's
recommendation provides $126,231,000 for legal, science,
regulatory and economic review programs, a general program
decrease of $2,000,000 from the request.
Operations and Administration.--The Committee recommends
$509,895,000 for operations and administration programs, a
$2,000,000 decrease from the request. The Agency is directed to
take this decrease from the Financial Systems Modernization
Project [FSMP]. The Committee notes that this will bring the
total funding available for the FSMP to $19,500,000, a 38
percent increase above the enacted level.
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.--To accomplish this
initiative, the Committee has included bill language allowing
EPA broad authority to transfer funding to or to establish
interagency agreements with other Federal agencies, and to make
grants to State and local governments, nonprofit organizations,
and other relevant entities as appropriate. The Committee
directs the Agency to maximize funding for on-the-ground
restoration activities that achieve measurable results and to
follow the recommendations of the Great Lakes Regional
Collaboration Strategy. The Agency and its Federal partners are
expected to limit overhead and to utilize non-Federal partners
to accomplish restoration objectives where appropriate and
cost-effective. EPA is also encouraged to work with non-Federal
partners to determine appropriate matching requirements,
including the use of in-kind matches.
The Agency is expected to work with non-Federal
stakeholders to develop a process for them to provide advice,
guidance, and recommendations to ensure that EPA selects
restoration projects for future fiscal years that reflect the
highest priority needs. The Committee further directs the
Agency to provide annual reports, starting on March 1, 2010 and
continuing each year thereafter, which detail yearly program
accomplishments and compare specific funding levels allocated
for participating Federal agencies from fiscal year to fiscal
year. The Committee expects EPA and its Federal partners to use
the funding increase recommended for fiscal year 2010 to
supplement, not supplant, base funding levels for Great Lakes
programs, when compared to fiscal year 2009.
Chemical Facility Risk Management.--The Committee is
concerned by the findings of a recent Office of Inspector
General report that the Agency has not inspected or audited
more than half of the 493 chemical processing facilities
identified by its Office of Emergency Management. In August
2008, an explosion at one such high-risk facility, the Bayer
CropScience pesticide manufacturing plant in Institute, West
Virginia, fatally injured two employees and threatened a
storage tank containing highly toxic methyl isocyanate,
endangering the lives of area residents. Per the Inspector
General's recommendations, the Committee expects the Agency to
take additional steps to ensure that all high-risk chemical
facilities are inspected for risk management and process safety
compliance. The Committee believes these steps should include
the development of inspection requirements to further
prioritize its facilities inspections, the development of a
system to track the Agency's progress in completing the
required inspections and the implementation of additional
management controls to identify facilities with regulated
chemicals that have not filed risk management plans. The Agency
is directed to provide a report to the Committee no later than
90 days after enactment of this act outlining an action plan
for improving its chemical facility risk management program,
including current and future staffing and resource
requirements.
Mercury Monitoring.--The Committee remains concerned about
the incidence of mercury pollution and encourages the Agency to
continue its work with the National Atmospheric Deposition
Program to coordinate an atmospheric monitoring network for
mercury that includes Federal and State agencies and tribes.

directly from the Hazardous Substance Superfund.
committee recommendation
The Committee's recommendation includes $44,791,000 for the
Office of the Inspector General, equal to the request. In
addition, the Committee recommends a transfer of $9,975,000
from the Hazardous Substances Superfund account equal to the
request.
Buildings and Facilities
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $35,001,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 37,001,000
House allowance......................................... 35,001,000
Committee recommendation................................ 35,001,000
program description
The appropriation for buildings and facilities at EPA
provides for the design and construction of EPA-owned
facilities as well as for the repair, extension, alteration,
and improvement of facilities utilized by the Agency. These
funds correct unsafe conditions, protect health and safety of
employees and Agency visitors, and prevent deterioration of
structures and equipment.
committee recommendation
The Committee's recommendation provides $35,001,000 for the
Agency's buildings and facilities program instead of
$37,001,000 as proposed in the request. This amount is equal to
the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
Hazardous Substance Superfund
(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $1,285,025,000
Emergency supplementals, 2009........................... 600,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,308,541,000
House allowance......................................... 1,306,541,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,308,541,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
On October 17, 1986, Congress amended the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
[CERCLA] through the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act of 1986 [SARA]. SARA reauthorized and expanded the
Hazardous Substance Superfund to address the problems of
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and spills. Specifically,
the legislation mandates that EPA: (1) provide emergency
response to hazardous waste spills; (2) take emergency action
at hazardous waste sites that pose an imminent hazard to public
health or environmentally sensitive ecosystems; (3) engage in
long-term planning, remedial design, and construction to clean
up hazardous waste sites where no financially viable
responsible party can be found; (4) take enforcement actions to
require responsible private and Federal parties to clean up
hazardous waste sites; and (5) take enforcement actions to
recover costs where the fund has been used for cleanup. Due to
the site-specific nature of the Agency's Superfund program,
site-specific travel is not considered part of the overall
travel ceiling set for the Superfund account.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $1,308,541,000 for Hazardous
Substance Superfund programs, equal to the budget request and
$23,517,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency
level.
Libby Superfund Risk Assessment and Coordination.--The
Committee believes that as part of the recently declared public
health emergency in Libby, Montana the Agency must develop a
clear process for identifying long-term health risks caused by
Superfund site contamination. The Committee is concerned that
cleanup efforts to date have not adequately removed visible
vermiculite and known public health risks. The Committee also
recognizes that full community involvement is a critical
component for long-term cleanup activities. To address these
concerns, the Agency is directed to coordinate with the
Department of Health and Human Services to identify the
asbestos exposure risks associated with cleanup activities in
Libby and their impact on long-term health care needs for the
community. The Agency shall provide a report to the Committee
within 180 days of enactment that details: (1) currently known
health risks; (2) the process used to determine a baseline risk
assessment for adults and children in the community; and (3)
cleanup activities that are planned while a Record of Decision
is being developed.
Rialto-Colton Basin in California.--The Committee continues
to support the Agency's proposed listing of Rialto-Colton Basin
in San Bernardino County, California to the National Priorities
List to remediate groundwater contamination, and is concerned
about the delay in accomplishing this goal. The Agency is
directed to report to the Committee within 60 days of enactment
regarding the status of the proposed listing, the reasons for
delay, and the timeline for issuing a final decision. The
Committee also continues to encourage the Agency to issue water
replacement orders against the parties responsible for
trichloroethylene and perchlorate contamination of the
groundwater basin to remain in effect until clean drinking
water supplies are fully restored to the city of Rialto, city
of Colton, West Valley Water District and the Fontana Water
Company.
Halaco Superfund Site.--The Committee is concerned that two
dilapidated structures located on the current Halaco
Engineering Company Co. Superfund site in Oxnard, California,
pose a significant and immediate risk to public health and
safety. The Committee understands that the property's owners
have failed to comply with past orders to demolish or repair
the buildings and notes that an EPA-retained structural
engineer determined that the buildings are structurally unsafe
and recommended that they be demolished as soon as possible.
The Committee believes that the buildings must be demolished
immediately and urges EPA to remove the buildings through an
interim removal action while it completes required
environmental analyses on the site.
Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $112,577,000
Emergency supplementals, 2009........................... 200,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 113,101,000
House allowance......................................... 113,101,000
Committee recommendation................................ 114,171,000
program description
The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorizations Act of 1986
[SARA] established the leaking underground storage tank [LUST]
trust fund to conduct corrective actions for releases from
leaking underground storage tanks containing petroleum and
other hazardous substances. EPA implements the LUST program
through State cooperative agreement grants which enable States
to conduct corrective actions to protect human health and the
environment, and through non-State entities including Indian
tribes under section 8001 of RCRA. The trust fund is also used
to enforce responsible parties to finance corrective actions
and to recover expended funds used to clean up abandoned tanks.
committee recommendation
The Committee's recommendation provides $114,171,000 for
leaking underground storage tank program activities, an
increase of $1,070,000 above the budget request. The increase
shall be used to restore leaking underground storage tank
grants authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
Oil Spill Response
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $17,687,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 18,379,000
House allowance......................................... 18,379,000
Committee recommendation................................ 18,379,000
program description
This appropriation, authorized by the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act of 1987 and amended by the Oil Pollution
Act of 1990, provides funds to prepare for and prevent releases
of oil and other petroleum products into navigable waterways.
EPA is also reimbursed for incident specific response costs
through the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, which pursuant to
law is managed by the United States Coast Guard. EPA is
responsible for: directing all cleanup and removal activities
posing a threat to public health and the environment;
conducting site inspections, including compelling responsible
parties to undertake cleanup actions; reviewing containment
plans at facilities; reviewing area contingency plans; pursuing
cost recovery of fund-financed cleanups; and conducting
research of oil cleanup techniques. Funds for this
appropriation are provided through the Oil Spill Liability
Trust Fund which is composed of fees and collections made
through provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the
Comprehensive Oil Pollution Liability and Compensation Act, the
Deepwater Port Act of 1974, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands
Act Amendments of 1978, and the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act as amended.
committee recommendation
The Committee recommends $18,379,000 for oil spill response
and prevention activities, equal to the request.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $4,954,274,000 for State and
tribal assistance grants, a decrease of $237,000,000 below the
request and an increase of $1,985,810,000 above the fiscal year
2009 enacted, non-emergency level.
Infrastructure Assistance.--The Committee's recommendation
includes a total of $3,843,000,000 for infrastructure
improvement programs, a decrease of $237,000,000 below the
request and $1,969,391,000 above the enacted, non-emergency
level.
The Committee's recommendation includes $2,100,000,000 for
the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program, a decrease of
$300,000,000 from the request. That amount provides a 204
percent increase for the program compared to the fiscal year
2009 enacted, non-emergency level. The Committee also provides
$1,387,000,000 for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
program, a decrease of $113,000,000 below the request. These
funding levels would bring the total amount appropriated to
States for water and sewer improvements to more than
$11,000,000,000 over the past 2 fiscal years.
The Committee has also included language proposed by the
administration to modify a number of provisions relating to the
Clean and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund programs,
including: (1) increasing the percentage of funds set aside for
grants to Tribes from each Revolving Fund program to 2 percent;
(2) increasing the percentage of funds set aside from each
Revolving Fund program for grants to U.S. territories to 1.5
percent; and (3) requiring 20 percent of the funds provided for
the Revolving Funds be targeted to green infrastructure, water
and energy efficiency and other environmentally innovative
projects.
In addition, the Committee's recommendation includes
$150,000,000 to fund targeted infrastructure assistance grants
not included in the budget request. These grants shall require
a local match of 45 percent of the total project cost unless
EPA grants a hardship waiver. Funds shall be distributed as

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Committee's recommendation includes an increase of
$5,000,000 above the request for the Alaska Native Villages
infrastructure assistance program, for a total of $15,000,000.
The Committee has provided $101,000,000 for Brownfields
project grants. The increase of $1,000,000 above the request
shall be used to expand the Technical Assistance to Brownfields
Community program. The Committee also concurs with the budget
request and has provided $60,000,000 for the Diesel Emission
Reduction Act grant program.
The Committee recommends an increase of $20,000,000 above
the request to fund targeted airshed grants to reduce air
pollution in the Nation's most polluted air districts. Of these
funds, $10,000,000 shall be divided equally between the San
Joaquin Air Pollution Control District and South Coast Air
Quality Management District in California. These funds shall be
used to continue emission reduction activities in the
transportation, agriculture, and ports sectors and shall be
matched on at least a one-to-one basis. The remaining
$10,000,000 shall be used for grants distributed on a
competitive basis to nonattainment areas that EPA determines
are ranked as the top five most polluted areas relative to
annual ozone or particulate matter2.5 standards. To
determine these areas, the Agency shall use the most recent
design values calculated from validated air quality data. The
Committee notes that these funds are available for emission
reduction activities deemed necessary for compliance with
national ambient air quality standards and included in a State
Implementation Plan submitted to EPA.
Categorical Grants.--The Committee recommends
$1,111,274,000 for categorical grants, equal to the request.
State and Local Air Quality Grants.--The Committee has not
agreed to the request to change the authorities under which
State and local air district grants are administered from
section 103 to section 105 of the Clean Air Act, which require
additional State and local matching funds.
Rescission.--The Committee is aware that the Agency has
large unobligated and unliquidated balances of prior-year State
and Tribal Assistance Grants funds, including those identified
by the Office of the Inspector General in its May 1, 2009
report. The Committee believes the Agency should make every
effort to reduce these balances and, accordingly, has included
bill language in the Administrative Provisions section
increasing the amount recommended for rescission to
$40,000,000. Consistent with prior years, the Committee directs
the Agency to take its first amounts from unobligated balances
from the title II construction grants program, unobligated
prior-year balances from State categorical grants and balances
for special projects appropriated in fiscal year 2003 or
earlier which have not been obligated on an approved grants as
of the date of enactment of this bill. The Committee has also
agreed to include language proposed in the budget request
prohibiting the Agency from rescinding amounts designated by
Congress as emergency funding.
Administrative Provisions
(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)
As in prior years, the Committee has retained language, as
proposed by the administration, relating to tribal programs and
pesticide registration service fees. The Committee has included
language relating to rescission of prior-year funds as part of
the State and Tribal Assistance Grants appropriation rather
than carrying the language as an administrative provision, as
proposed in the budget request.
As noted previously, the Committee has included modified
bill language relating the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative
that allows EPA to: (1) to transfer up to half of funds
appropriated for the initiative through the Environmental
Programs and Management account to other Federal agencies to
facilitate restoration projects; (2) establish interagency
agreements with other Federal agencies to facilitate
restoration projects; and (3) to make grants to State and local
government, nonprofit organizations and other relevant entities
as appropriate.

Service, an increase of $71,046,000 above the request and an
increase of $551,864,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted,
non-emergency level.
Changes to the budget request are detailed below.
forest and rangeland research
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $296,380,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 300,612,000
House allowance......................................... 308,612,000
Committee recommendation................................ 307,012,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Forest and rangeland research and development carries out
basic and applied scientific research to provide information
and solutions to sustain the Nation's forests and rangelands.
Research scientists collaborate with industry, non-governmental
organizations, colleges and universities, State foresters, and
other governmental agencies. The research program works on a
number of issues that are critical to the mission of the Forest
Service including fire and fuels; invasive species; forest
inventory and analysis; vegetation and protection; wildlife and
fish habitat; soil, water, and air resources; valuation of
forests and grasslands; urban forests and the urban-wildland
interface. Research is conducted at six research stations, the
Forest Products Laboratory, and the International Institute of
Tropical Forestry located in Puerto Rico, with approximately
500 scientists and 67 sites located throughout the United
States.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee's recommendation includes $307,012,000 for
forest and rangeland research programs, an increase of
$6,400,000 above the request and $10,632,000 above the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level.
Base Program.--The Committee's recommendation includes
$240,073,000 for base research activities, an increase of
$400,000 above the request.
The Committee directs the increase of $400,000 above the
request to fund the Center for Bottomlands Hardwood Research in
Mississippi, for a total of $800,000. The Committee has agreed
to the budget request to allocate $2,100,000 for the
Northeastern States Research Cooperative program, including
$900,000 each for the programs in the States of New Hampshire
and Vermont and $300,000 for the program in the State of Maine.
Forest Inventory and Analysis [FIA].--The Committee
recommends a $5,000,000 general program increase above the
request for the Forest Inventory and Analysis program. The
Committee understands that this increase will enable the
Service to add Hawaii, New Mexico, and Nevada to the national
inventory and to establish intensive monitoring sites for the
Service's experimental forests and other high-priority research
sites across the Nation. The Committee notes that the expansion
of the Service's FIA program will provide essential land use
and ecosystem data required by the Service and other Federal
and non-Federal partners to inform climate change decisions.
Within 90 days of enactment, the Service is directed to provide
a report detailing proposed FIA program accomplishments,
including sites that have been selected for additional
monitoring and the criteria used to select those sites.
Other.--The Committee has not agreed to rescind $1,000,000
of prior-year balances, as proposed in the budget request.
STATE AND PRIVATE FORESTRY
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $265,861,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 306,111,000

Land Management Planning.--The Committee has provided
$45,518,000 for land management planning, equal to the request.
Inventory and Monitoring.--The Committee's recommendation
includes $169,695,000 for inventory and monitoring programs, an
increase of $1,000,000 above the request.
Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness.--The Committee has
provided $290,117,000 for recreation, heritage and wilderness
programs, an increase of $10,000,000 above the request. The
Committee directs the Service to use the increase to restore
proposed reductions to recreation operations activities and to
fund ongoing travel management planning requirements.
The Committee believes that the Forest Service must
continue to show progress toward meeting its travel management
regulatory requirements, including its requirements to conduct
a science-based analysis of the roads system, identify unneeded
roads, and comply with appropriate criteria to designate roads
and trails, as defined by 36 CFR 212.5 and 212.55. Within 60
days of enactment, the Service is directed to provide a report
to the Committee outlining the process that it will use, by
region, to ensure compliance with these requirements, including
a timeline for implementation.
The Committee also believes that management of heritage
resources on national forests, including compliance with the
National Historic Preservation Act, must be a greater priority
for the Service. To that end, the Committee is encouraged that
the budget request contains a 6 percent increase in funding to
better manage heritage resources. The Committee directs the
Service to provide a report no later than September 30, 2010
detailing heritage resource program accomplishments and funding
allocations for each region and each national forest for fiscal
years 2009 and 2010.
Wildlife and Fish Habitat Management.--The Committee has
provided $142,971,000 for wildlife and fish habitat management
programs, an increase of $1,500,000 above the request.
The Committee strongly encourages the Department of
Interior and the Forest Service to coordinate with local
entities and to employ the resources necessary to prevent
Quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species from entering
the Lake Tahoe ecosystem.
Grazing Management.--The Committee's recommendation
includes $50,714,000 for grazing management programs, an
increase of $765,000 above the budget request.
Forest Products.--The Committee has provided $338,959,000
for forest products programs, a general program increase of
$10,000,000 above the budget request. The Committee concurs
with the budget request to fund activities related to the
Northwest Forest Plan based on the agency's capacity to fund
projects. The Committee directs the Service to use its general
program increase to implement timber sales and stewardship
contracts in regions where recently closed and at-risk mills
could benefit. The Committee is concerned that recent mill
closures in forested rural areas have diminished the Service's
ability to undertake hazardous fuels reduction work on national
forest lands. Forest products infrastructure is an essential
tool for restoring the Nation's forests and combating
catastrophic fire, and the Forest Service should make every
effort to sustain this infrastructure where possible. Within
the increase provided, the Service is also directed to provide
an additional $1,250,000 to fund timber pipeline development
for the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, for a total of
$2,500,000.
Vegetation and Watershed Management.--The Committee's
recommendation includes $188,786,000 for vegetation and
watershed management activities, an increase of $6,500,000
above the budget request. Of the increase provided, $1,500,000
is directed to fully fund fixed costs and $5,000,000 is
directed to expand efforts to fund cleanup activities
associated with marijuana eradication on national forest lands.
The Committee is very concerned that the Service is not
making enough progress toward addressing the backlog of
restoration needs caused by increased marijuana eradication
operations. The Service is directed to develop a targeted plan
for this funding increase that will demonstrate an ``economy of
scale'' approach to clean up several eradication sites at once.
The plan should be developed in concert with the Service's law
enforcement staff, other Federal agencies and non-Federal
stakeholders. The Service shall report to the Committee
regarding proposed allocations prior to allocating these funds
to the field.
The Committee supports the budget request of $350,000 for
leafy spurge eradication on the Dakota Prairie Grasslands.
Minerals and Geology Management.--The Committee has
provided $86,650,000 for minerals and geology programs, equal
to the budget request.
Land Ownership Management.--The Committee has included
$94,372,000 for land ownership management programs, equal to
the budget request.
Law Enforcement Operations.--The Committee has included
$145,047,000 for law enforcement operations, an increase of
$10,000,000 above the request. The increase provided above the
request shall be used to expand the Service's efforts to expand
marijuana eradication activities on national forest lands,
including defraying aviation and support costs associated with
interagency drug eradication operations. The Committee expects
the Service to allocate this increase to areas with the
greatest amounts of drug eradication activity. The Service is
directed to maintain funding for forest counterdrug operations
at their fiscal year 2009 levels unless the Committee is
notified in writing of a need to reallocate funds based on
increased drug activity on other forests.
Valles Caldera National Preserve.--The Committee recommends
$3,500,000 for operations of the Valles Caldera National
Preserve in New Mexico, equal to the request.
Land Between the Lakes.--The Committee concurs with the
budget request and provides $8,200,000 to support operations at
the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.
Rescission.--The Committee has not agreed to the
$10,000,000 rescission of prior-year National Forest System
appropriations balances proposed in the request.
Other.--The Committee is concerned by reports of employment
and workplace safety violations related to the employment of
foreign guest workers, known as pineros, by contractors
operating on national forest lands. By March 1, 2010, the
Service is directed to provide a report to the Committee
detailing planned and actual monitoring, investigation and
enforcement activities, including information regarding
violations of employment or safety standards, for fiscal years
2009 and 2010. The Service is also directed to make this report
available to the general public on its website.
Bill Language.--The Committee has included language to
allow the Service to continue to transfer funds to the Bureau
of Land Management for certain activities related to wild
horses and burros and cadastral surveys, as requested.

$43,544,000 below the request and an increase of $18,025,000
above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency level. As in
previous years, the Committee proposes to offset these funds
with an $18,000,000 scoring credit related to the Roads and
Trails Fund. The Committee agrees to the following distribution

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Committee's recommendation does not include funding for
the administration's proposed $50,000,000 ``Protecting National
Forests'' initiative. Though the Committee recognizes the
importance of addressing the Service's deferred maintenance
backlog, it also understands that the Service has not yet
developed a priority list of eligible projects or specific
criteria to select future projects. Given the lack of a
concrete plan for this funding, the Committee believes that the
Service would be better served investing this increase in
other, underfunded operating programs that also protect the
health and vitality of the national forests. Therefore, the
Committee has transferred the $50,000,000 funding increase to
other critical programs within the National Forest System and
Wildland Fire Management appropriations.
The Committee urges the Service to develop specific
criteria for this major construction initiative, including a
proposed priority list, and to resubmit the initiative for
consideration as part of future budget requests.
Facilities.--The Committee's recommendation includes
$135,575,000 for facilities maintenance and construction, an
increase of $4,835,000 above the request.
Changes to the request include the following: a $595,000
increase for the Monongahela National Forest (West Virginia);
an increase of $1,840,000 to continue construction of a
research facility in Hawaii, for a total of $2,500,000;
$500,000 to complete construction of a work station on the
Cherokee National Forest (Tennessee); and $1,900,000 to
relocate the Northern Great Plains Fire Dispatch Center on the
Black Hills National Forest (South Dakota).
Roads.--The Committee has provided $236,521,000 for road
maintenance and improvement, an increase of $1,521,000 above
the request. The increase is provided for road improvements on
the Monongahela National Forest (West Virginia).
Trails.--The Committee's recommendation includes
$82,181,000 for trails maintenance and construction, an
increase of $100,000 above the request. The increase is
provided for trail improvements on the Reno-to-Tahoe Rim Trail
in Nevada. Within funds provided, the Service shall continue to
fund national scenic and historic trails at no less than the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
Legacy Roads Initiative.--The Committee has included
$50,000,000 for the Legacy Roads initiative, equal to the
budget request.
Other.--As noted previously, the Committee has continued
bill language from prior years regarding the treatment of
receipts from the Road and Trails Fund.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Wildland Fire Management provides funding for fire
management including preparedness and fire suppression
operations on National Forest System and adjacent lands, and
also supports the National Fire Plan. The program seeks to
protect life, property, and natural resources on the 192
million acres of National Forest System lands, as well as on an
additional 20 million acres of adjacent State and private
lands. The program recognizes that wildfire is a critical
natural process that must be integrated into land and resource
management plans and activities on a landscape scale across
agency boundaries.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee's recommendation includes $2,586,637,000 for
wildland fire management programs, an increase of $455,007,000
above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency level and an
increase of $66,490,000 above the request.
Preparedness.--The Committee's recommendation includes
$690,000,000 for fire preparedness activities, an increase of
$15,000,000 above the request. The increase shall be used to
fund fixed costs and to continue firefighter retention
initiatives for high-risk areas initiated by Public Law 110-
329. The Committee expects that future budget requests will
include the resources necessary to maintain these important
retention initiatives.
As in prior years, the Service is directed to analyze
proposed preparedness resource levels and to adjust resources
between preparedness and suppression as necessary to ensure
that the Service maintains readiness commensurate with fiscal
year 2008 levels. The Service is directed to notify the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations in writing prior to the
decision to shift resources between the two programs, and is
further directed to re-evaluate future budget requests to
ensure that preparedness requests actually reflect expected
costs.
Fire Suppression.--The Committee has fully funded the 10-
year fire suppression average of $1,128,505,000, as requested.
The Committee has also agreed to provide an additional
$282,000,000 in contingency fire appropriations as proposed by
the request. However, the Committee believes that providing
these funds through a separate appropriations account, as
requested by the administration, would create an unnecessary
administrative burden. Therefore, the Committee has merged
these funds with the Wildland Fire Management account. These
funds should only be made available once all other funds
available for fire suppression activities have been exhausted.
Other Operations.--The Committee recommends $486,132,000
for other fire operations programs, an increase of $51,490,000
above the request.
The Committee has provided $350,285,000 for hazardous fuels
reduction activities, an increase of $35,000,000 above the
request and $22,199,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted,
non-emergency level.
Of the increase provided, the Committee directs the Service
to use $30,000,000 to restore and expand hazardous fuels
reduction activities. The Committee expects the Service to use
$10,000,000 of this increase to begin implementation of
projects authorized by the Forest Landscape Restoration Act
(Public Law 111-11). The Service is directed to provide a
report to the Committee by March 1, 2010 that details the
projects selected for implementation, estimated project costs,
and the criteria used for their selection. The remaining
$20,000,000 shall be used to support fuels reduction and
restoration activities on lands at the highest risk of
catastrophic wildfire due to fuel loads and population density.
When selecting projects, the Service is also urged to give
priority to projects that foster community collaboration and
support local forest products or biomass utilization
infrastructure.
The Committee's recommendation provides an additional
$5,000,000 increase above the request for biomass utilization
grants, for a total of $10,000,000. Within fuels reduction
programs, the Committee supports the budget request of
$2,000,000 for the Southwest Ecological Research Institutes,
including $1,500,000 for the institute located at Northern
Arizona University.
The Committee's recommendation includes $11,500,000 for
rehabilitation activities, an increase of $2,500,000 above the
request and equal to the enacted level. The Committee supports
the budget request of $23,917,000 for fire plan research and
development programs and $8,000,000 for joint fire science
activities conducted with the Department of the Interior.
The Committee recommendation also provides $17,252,000 for
forest health programs on Federal lands, an increase of
$2,812,000 above the request. Cooperative forest health
programs are funded at $9,928,000, an increase of $2,928,000
above the request. These increases restore both programs to
their fiscal year 2009 enacted levels.
The Committee recommends $56,250,000 for State fire
assistance programs, an increase of $6,250,000 above the
request, with the increase allocated as follows:
--$4,000,000 to increase the budget request for the South
Lake Tahoe Public Utility District to fund water system
improvements by local utility districts to enhance
firefighting capability, for a total of $5,000,000;
--$2,000,000 to increase the budget request for fire risk
reduction activities by California Fire Safe Council
chapters, including activities in the Lake Tahoe Basin,
for a total of $5,000,000; and
--$250,000 for the City of Reno for protection of the city's
wildland-urban interface.
The Committee recommends $9,000,000 for volunteer fire
assistance programs, an increase of $2,000,000 above the
request and equal to the enacted level.
Quincy Library Group [QLG].--The Committee is very
concerned that the Service has been unable to meet the annual
fuels reduction treatment goals required by the Herger-
Feinstein Quincy Library Group Act, which prescribes 40,000 to
60,000 acres of treatments each year for the Plumas and Lassen
National Forests and the Sierraville Ranger District of the
Tahoe National Forest. These treatments are essential to
minimize the risk of stand-replacing wildfires which the area
has suffered repeatedly, including the 2007 Moonlight Fire,
which threatened communities and burned 65,000 acres on the
Plumas National Forest.
The Committee is aware that the Service has preliminary
treatment targets for the QLG area of approximately 18,000
acres in fiscal year 2009, including 3,000 acres on the Plumas
National Forest, and approximately 21,000 acres in fiscal year
2010. The Committee is also aware that additional acre targets
for future projects may be agreed upon by stakeholders. The
Committee expects the Service to meet or exceed these
preliminary targets and directs the Service to provide a report
to the Committee within 60 days of enactment detailing the
actual number of acres treated in fiscal year 2009 and the
updated number of acres planned for treatment in fiscal year
2010, including the number of additional acres agreed to as
part of the collaborative process.
Aviation Strategy.--The Committee is concerned that the
Service's fleet of P-2V and P-3 firefighting air tankers
continues to age and notes that the number of air tankers
currently available to the Service--18--is a 60 percent
reduction compared to the number of aircraft available in 2002.
With many of the Service's fleet of air tankers nearing the end
of their available flight hours, it is imperative that the
Service complete its longstanding work to develop a
comprehensive aviation strategy, including recommendations for
the replacement for its air tanker fleet. The Committee directs
the Service to complete its work on the aviation strategy and
provide a copy, including detailed cost estimates relating to
its recommendations, to the Committee within 60 days of
enactment.
Bill Language.--The Committee supports the budget request
for the Community Forest Restoration Act and has retained
language to allow the program to use appropriate State and
private forestry authorities as necessary.
Administrative Provisions
(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)
The Committee has continued many of the same administrative
provisions included in prior year appropriations acts.
The Committee has modified language authorizing the
Secretary to transfer funds from other program accounts to fund
wildfire suppression and related activities if the Secretary
determines that all available fire suppression funds will be
obligated within 30 days. The Committee directs the Service to
take its first transfers from unobligated balances, if
available, from the Knutsen-Vandenberg Trust Fund and other
permanent and trust fund accounts, and to exhaust available
balances, as appropriate, from permanent and trust fund
accounts before the Service transfers funds from other
discretionary accounts.
The Committee has modified language relating to limitations
on assessments from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to
authorize the assessment of up to $15,500,000 for the
implementation of a proposed Department-wide financial system.
The Committee's recommendation includes amounts requested
by the administration to provide up to $2,000,000 for the
National Forest Foundation and $2,650,000 for the National Fish
and Wildlife Foundation for partnership activities that benefit
national forests. These funds are subject to a one-to-one
matching requirement. The Committee has agreed to limit amounts
available to the National Forest Foundation for administrative
purposes, consistent with the budget request.
The recommendation does not include proposed limitations to
rural community technical assistance, as proposed in the
request.
The Committee has agreed to increase the Service's cap on
deferred maintenance assessments to $55,000,000 and has
included requested technical changes. The Committee has also
agreed to extend authorities concerning the availability of
funds for educational benefits for dependents of agency
personnel serving in Puerto Rico, as requested.
Language has been continued authorizing up to $5,000,000
for youth conservation and service corps projects, including up
to $2,500,000 for fuels and fire risk reduction projects
authorized by the Public Lands Corps Healthy Forest Restoration
Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-154).
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Indian Health Service
The Indian Health Service [IHS] is the agency within the
Department of Health and Human Services that has responsibility
for providing Federal health services to approximately 1.9
million American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of
health services to tribes grew out of the special relationship
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes that was
established in 1787, based on Article I, Section 8 of the
Constitution, and given form and substance by numerous
treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, and Executive orders
that followed. Most notable among these is the Snyder Act of
1921, which provides the basic authority for most Indian health
services provided by the Federal Government to Native Americans
and Alaska Natives.
IHS services are provided directly and through tribally
contracted and operated health programs in over 600 healthcare
facilities located throughout the United States, primarily in
rural and isolated areas. Health care is also purchased from
more than 9,000 private providers annually. The Federal system
consists of 31 hospitals, 50 health centers, and 31 health
stations. In addition, 34 urban Indian health projects provide
a variety of health and referral services.
Through Public Law 93-638, the Indian Self-Determination
and Education Act, as amended, American Indian tribes and
Alaska Native corporations contract and compact to administer
more than one half of all IHS resources, including 15
hospitals, 254 health centers, 112 health stations, and 166
Alaska village clinics.

amount of $151,951,000 is provided to cover the uncontrollable
cost increases of pay and benefits; medical and non-medical
inflation; population growth; and the staffing of new
facilities. Within the amount provided for contract health
services, $48,000,000 is included for the Catastrophic Health
Emergency Fund, an increase of $17,000,000 above the current
year enacted level. New tribes funding is based on projections
for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Tuscarora Tribe. The
Urban Indian Health program is proposed to be funded at
$38,139,000 in fiscal year 2010, a 5 percent increase above the
current year enacted level. Within the Indian Health
Professions activity, the Committee notes that funds are
continued for the Recruitment/Retention of American Indians
into Nursing program; the Indians into Psychology program; and
the Indians into Medicine program. The Committee encourages the
Service to continue to provide such technical assistance as may
be necessary for the newly formed Indian Health Board of Nevada
to strengthen and expand its ability to advocate on behalf of
Nevada's 27 Indian tribes and communities. Language has been
included in the bill in title IV, general provisions, regarding
the delivery of healthcare services in Alaska.

Health facilities construction is funded at $29,234,000 and
provides support for three ongoing projects: the Barrow, Alaska
hospital; the Kayenta, Arizona health center; and the San
Carlos, Arizona health center. In the fiscal year 2009 bill,
the Service was instructed to prepare a new solicitation for
both the Joint Venture Construction Program and the Small
Ambulatory Grants Program. The Committee understands that the
initial phase of this process is underway with a request to
tribal leaders to inform the Service of their intent to apply
for either program by July 1, 2009.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Council on Environmental Quality [CEQ] and the Office
of Environmental Quality [OEQ] were established by the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 [NEPA] and the Environmental
Quality Improvement Act of 1970, respectively. The Council
serves as a source of environmental expertise and policy
analysis for the White House, Executive Office of the
President, and other Federal agencies. CEQ promulgates
regulations binding on all Federal agencies to implement the
procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act
and resolves interagency environmental disputes informally and
through issuance of findings and recommendations.

Interagency Action Plan on Appalachian Surface Coal
Mining.--On June 11, 2009, the Department of the Interior, the
Environmental Protection Agency, and the Army Corps of
Engineers announced the signing of a memorandum of
understanding designed to address the impacts of surface coal
mining in the Appalachian region of the United States. As
proposed, these Federal agencies will implement an Interagency
Action Plan that will coordinate the development of both short-
term and long-term actions intended to ``diversify and
strengthen the Appalachian regional economy and promote the
health and welfare of Appalachian communities.'' The Plan also
calls for a ``special focus on stimulating clean enterprise and
green jobs development, encouraging better coordination among
existing Federal efforts, and supporting innovative new ideas
and initiatives.'' The Committee is encouraged that the Plan
calls for public meetings throughout Appalachia that will
garner ``robust public comment'' on a proposal that may very
well have wide ranging and unforeseen consequences for both the
economic and social environments of the communities involved.
However, the Committee also believes it is essential for
Members of Congress to fully understand the various elements of
the Plan. To that end, the Committee directs the Council on
Environmental Quality to begin a series of congressional
briefings, beginning no later than 60 days after enactment of
this act and occurring no less than every 6 months thereafter,
which will provide pertinent and meaningful information on how
the administration intends to achieve its goals. These
briefings should include, at minimum, detailed information on
the proposed actions to be taken, what alternatives may exist
to the proposed actions, anticipated timelines for
implementation of these actions, the estimated economic costs
involved in implementing the actions, and updates on the status
and outcomes of the scheduled public meetings. The Committee
would appreciate the Council ensuring the participation of all
relevant executive agencies, including the Appalachian Regional
Commission, in these briefings.

expenses of the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board.
This amount is $996,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and
$648,000 above the budget request. With the additional funds
provided, the Committee directs that the Board evaluate and
report on how best to eliminate the remaining industrial
storage of methy isocyanate, the substance involved in the
Bhopal chemical disaster and in a fatal accident at Bayer
CropScience in Institute, West Virginia, in 2008, as requested
by the chairmen of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce
and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation.

Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts
Development
payment to the institute
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $7,900,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 8,300,000
House allowance......................................... 8,300,000
Committee recommendation................................ 8,300,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture
and Arts Development [IAIA] was originally founded in 1962 as a
Bureau of Indian Affairs [BIA] high school. The Institute was
moved out of the BIA in 1988 to become a federally chartered 4-
year college governed by a board of trustees appointed by the
President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. Its
mission is to serve as the national center of research,
training, language and scholarship for Native Americans and
Alaska Natives through the dedicated study, creative
application, preservation, and care of Native cultures and
arts. In addition to its academic programs, IAIA houses the
National Collection of Contemporary Indian Art and carries the
designation as the National Repository for Native Languages.
IAIA's operations are funded by direct Federal support and a
diversified private sector approach to foundations,
corporations, tribes, and individual donors.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $8,300,000 for the Institute of
American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development,
an increase of $400,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level and the same amount as the budget request. Additional
funds are provided for the Institute to expand its faculty and
meet facilities maintenance and information technology needs.
Smithsonian Institution
Congress established the Smithsonian Institution in 1846 to
administer a large bequest left to the United States by James
Smithson, an English scientist, for the purpose of establishing
in Washington, DC, an institution ``. . . for the increase and
diffusion of knowledge among men.'' The act establishing the
Smithsonian provided for the administration of the trust,
independent of the Government itself, by a Board of Regents and
a Secretary, who were given broad discretion in the use of
these funds. The board was to be composed of both private
citizens and members of all three branches of the Federal
Government in order to ensure ``the wise and faithful use'' of
the Institution's funds. The trust funds were permanently
loaned to the U.S. Treasury to be maintained in a separate
account, with the interest from that money used for the
operation of the Institution. Construction of the Smithsonian
Castle was completed in 1855 and collections that the
Government had accepted on behalf of the Institution were moved
into the building. Today, the Smithsonian Institution is the
world's largest museum and research complex, housing
approximately 144 million objects and specimens, and receiving
an estimated 25 million visitors annually.
Its facilities include 19 museums and galleries, including
the National Zoo, 10 science centers, and other facilities--
most located in or near Washington, DC, with others in
Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Arizona, Hawaii, and the
Republic of Panama. The Smithsonian's growth will continue for
the foreseeable future with the design and construction of a
National Museum of African American History and Culture,
authorized by Congress in 2003 and scheduled to open to the
public in 2015.

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $593,400,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 634,161,000
House allowance......................................... 634,161,000
Committee recommendation................................ 634,161,000
The Committee recommends $634,161,000 for salaries and
expenses of the Smithsonian Institution, an increase of
$40,761,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the
same amount as the budget request. Within this total,
$26,011,000 is included to meet the fixed cost increases
associated with pay and benefits, utilities, rent and other
operational requirements. Program increases totaling
$14,750,000 are included to address additional needs for
facilities services, collections care, scientific research,
information technology and governance support. The Committee
expects the Smithsonian to continue to submit quarterly reports
of funding redirections that are below the reprogramming
threshold.
facilities capital
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $123,000,000
Emergency supplementals, 2009........................... 25,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 125,000,000
House allowance......................................... 140,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 125,000,000
The Committee recommends $125,000,000 for the Smithsonian
Institution's facilities capital program, an increase of
$2,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 non-emergency funding
level and the same amount as the budget request. Of this total
$89,300,000 is provided for revitalization efforts and
$35,700,000 is provided for facilities planning and design.
Projects to be addressed with these funds in fiscal year 2010
include: $20,000,000 for design of the National Museum of
African American History and Culture; $12,600,000 for
replacement of the roof at the Arts and Industries Building;
$16,300,000 for continued revitalization of the National Museum
of Natural History; and $16,000,000 for major repairs and
renewal of facilities at the National Zoological Park.
LEGACY FUND
(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $15,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010...................................................
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 30,000,000
Rescission of prior year funds.......................... -29,766,000
The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for the Legacy Fund in
fiscal year 2010. The administration's budget request did not
propose to include an appropriation for this account. The
Committee has included language in the bill to target the
Legacy Fund specifically to the development of a public-private
partnership that will facilitate the reopening of the Arts and
Industries Building. The current 1:1 private matching
requirement has been expanded to include major in-kind
donations that contribute to the redesign and purpose of the
new building, as well as privately funded endowments intended
for the care and refurbishment of the permanent exhibits
therein. The Committee has made the foregoing adjustments in
consultation with the Smithsonian Institution and with the
understanding that these changes will better support the
Institution's private fundraising efforts. The Committee has
rescinded a total unobligated balance of $29,766,000 from
Legacy Fund appropriations for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and
reappropriated these dollars under the revised guidelines.
National Gallery of Art
The National Gallery of Art was created in 1937 by a joint
resolution of Congress accepting Andrew W. Mellon's gift to the
Nation of his art collection. The generosity of the Mellon
family also provided the funds to construct the Gallery's two
landmark buildings, the West Building, designed by Alexander
Pope and completed in 1941, and the East Building, designed by
I.M. Pei and completed in 1978. In 1999, an outdoor sculpture
garden was created with funding from the Cafritz Foundation.
Today, these two buildings and the Sculpture Garden form a
museum complex that houses one of the world's premier art
collections. Since the Gallery's founding, Federal funds have
been appropriated to ensure the operation, maintenance,
protection, and care of its collection. Private contributions
are used by the Gallery for art acquisition and conservation,
scholarly and scientific research, exhibitions, and educational
outreach programs.
salaries and expenses
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $105,388,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 108,986,000
House allowance......................................... 110,746,000
Committee recommendation................................ 110,746,000
The Committee recommends $110,746,000 for salaries and
expenses of the National Gallery of Art, an increase of
$5,358,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
$1,760,000 above the budget request. The Committee does not
agree with the administration's proposal to reduce special
exhibitions funding by $1,760,000 and has restored that amount
to the ``Salaries and Expenses'' account. These funds are used
for exhibit installation and supplies, shipping contracts,
security and other contract services that are required for
mounting successful temporary exhibitions at the Gallery. The
Committee sees no reason why these activities would not be
considered a part of the Federal Government's commitment to
funding the operations of the Gallery. The table at the back of
this report displays the Committee's proposed distribution of
funds among the Gallery's various activities.
repair, restoration, and renovation of buildings
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $17,368,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 56,259,000
House allowance......................................... 56,259,000
Committee recommendation................................ 54,499,000
The Committee recommends $54,499,000 for the repair,
restoration, and renovation of facilities at the National
Gallery of Art, an increase of $37,131,000 above the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level and a decrease of $1,760,000 below the
budget request.
The significant increase above the current year enacted
level is due to the immediate need to repair the East
Building's stone facade. This project, in total, is estimated
to cost $85,000,000 and will require the removal and
reinstallation of all 16,200 marble panels. Language is
included in the bill allowing for the expenditure of up to
$40,000,000 for this project in the coming fiscal year and
authority has been provided for the issuance of a single
procurement for the full scope of the project.
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
Originally established in 1958 as the National Cultural
Center, an independently administered bureau of the Smithsonian
Institution, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
was designated as a living memorial to President Kennedy in
1964. The Kennedy Center building was constructed with a
combination of private contributions, Federal matching funds
and long-term revenue bonds held by the U.S. Department of the
Treasury. Since 1972, Congress has provided funds for the
operations and repair of the presidential monument, initially
through the National Park Service and since 1995 to the Kennedy
Center Board of Trustees. Approximately 87 percent of the
Center's total annual operating budget is derived from non-
appropriated funds such as ticket sales, auxiliary income,
investment income and private contributions to support
performing arts programming and administrative activities.

The Committee recommends $22,500,000 for operations and
maintenance of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts, an increase of $1,200,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and the same amount as the budget request.
Additional funding is provided to assist the Kennedy Center in
meeting its fixed cost increases for pay, benefits, utilities
and facilities maintenance contracts.

Budget estimate, 2010................................... 17,447,000
House allowance......................................... 17,447,000
Committee recommendation................................ 17,447,000
The Committee recommends $17,447,000 for the Kennedy
Center's capital repair and restoration program, an increase of
$2,383,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the
same amount as the budget request.
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

Budget estimate, 2010................................... 10,225,000
House allowance......................................... 12,225,000
Committee recommendation................................ 10,225,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars is the
living national memorial to President Wilson established by
Congress in 1968 and headquartered in Washington, DC. Its
mission is to commemorate the ideals and concerns of the former
president by providing a link between the world of ideas and
the world of policy; and by fostering research, study,
discussion, and collaboration among a full spectrum of
individuals concerned with policy and scholarship in national
and world affairs. The Woodrow Wilson Center is a nonpartisan
institution that is supported by a combination of public and
private funds.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $10,225,000 for salaries and
expenses of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars, an increase of $225,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and the same amount as the budget request. The
additional amount is provided to the Center to address fixed
cost increases and maintain key programs at their current
levels.
National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities
National Endowment for the Arts
Established in 1965 as an independent agency of the Federal
Government, the National Endowment for the Arts [NEA] is the
official arts organization of the United States Government. The
Endowment is the largest annual funder of the arts in the
United States, helping to create regional theater, opera,
ballet, symphony orchestras, museums and other arts
organizations that Americans now enjoy. Since its founding, the
National Endowment for the Arts has awarded more than 120,000
grants that have brought the arts to Americans in communities
both large and small. The NEA, through its competitive, peer-
reviewed grants process, uses the majority of its annual
operating funds to award grants to non-profit organizations for
arts education, arts outreach, artistic excellence and
partnership agreements. In addition to those activities, State
and jurisdictional arts agencies are awarded 40 percent of the
Endowment's funds.

Committee recommendation................................ 161,315,000
The Committee recommends $161,315,000 for the National
Endowment for the Arts, an increase of $6,315,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 non-emergency funding level and the same
amount as the budget request. The Committee has agreed with the
proposal to reinstate four seats on the National Council on the
Arts and has included language in title IV, general provisions,
of the bill to effect that change. The table at the back of the
report displays the distribution of funds among the agency's
various activities.
National Endowment for the Humanities
The National Endowment for the Humanities [NEH] was
established by the 1965 National Foundation on the Arts and
Humanities Act as an independent Federal agency of the United
States Government dedicated to supporting research, education,
preservation, and public programs in the humanities. Today, it
is the largest funder of humanities programs in the Nation.
NEH's longstanding tradition of a peer-reviewed competitive
grant process is designed to ensure that the most meritorious
projects are funded. Typically, NEH grants are used to support
cultural institutions, such as museums, archives, libraries,
colleges, universities, public television and radio, and
individual scholars. The NEH, through its State-Federal
partnership, also provides grants to State humanities councils
in all 50 States and the 6 territories.

Committee recommendation................................ 161,315,000
The Committee recommends $161,315,000 for grants and
administration of the National Endowment for the Humanities, an
increase of $6,315,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level
and the same amount as the budget request. Administration of
the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program is
continued through the Commission of Fine Arts rather than
transferred to the National Endowment for the Humanities, as
proposed in the budget request. The table at the back of the
report displays the distribution of funds among the Endowment's
various activities.
Commission of Fine Arts
The Commission of Fine Arts was established in 1910 to fill
the need for a permanent agency whose members would be
qualified to make available to the Government expert opinion on
questions of art and architecture. The Commission's mission, as
design proposals are brought before it, is to safeguard and
improve the appearance and symbolic significance of the city as
a capital. The Commission provides knowledgeable advice on
matters pertaining to architecture, landscape architecture,
sculpture, painting, and the decorative arts to all branches
and departments of the Federal and District of Columbia
governments when such matters affect the National Capital. The
Commission also must approve of the site and design of all
commemorative works and memorials erected in the District. The
Commission advises on the design of circulating and
commemorative coinage and must approve the siting and design
for national memorials, both in the United States and on
foreign soil, in accordance with the American Battle Monuments
Act and the Commemorative Works Act. The Commission also
administers the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs
program, which was created by Congress to assist nonprofit
cultural entities in Washington, DC.

The Committee recommends $2,294,000 for the Commission of
Fine Arts, an increase of $60,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and the same amount as the budget request.
Additional funds are provided to meet the uncontrollable cost
increases of pay, benefits, and other escalating operational
expenses. In agreement with the request, the Committee has
included language in the bill providing the Commission with the
authority to accept material gifts pertaining to the history
and design of the national capital for purposes of artistic
display, study and education.
national capital arts and cultural affairs
The National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program was
established by Public Law 99-190 to provide grants for general
operating support to District of Columbia nonprofit arts and
other cultural organizations. In fiscal year 1988,
administrative responsibility for the program was transferred
from the National Endowment for the Humanities to the
Commission of Fine Arts. Currently, this program helps support
24 nationally renowned organizations in the Nation's Capital by
providing funding for operating expenses, jobs, exhibits, and
performances that might not have been possible otherwise.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $9,500,000 for the National
Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program, a decrease of
$500,000 from the budget request and the same amount as the
current year enacted level. The Committee does not support the
administration's proposal to return the administrative
functions of this program to the National Endowment for the
Humanities, where it was formerly housed, nor does it support
the proposed changes in the structure of the program. The
economic downturn of the past year has left many nonprofit arts
and cultural institutions struggling financially. In the
Committee's view, there is no compelling reason at this time to
consider major changes to the program that might add to the
fiscal uncertainty faced by these organizations.
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $5,948,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 5,908,000

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 established
the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation as an independent
Federal agency. The Council's mission is to promote the
preservation, enhancement, and productive use of our Nation's
historic resources, and advise the President and Congress on
national historic preservation policy. It also provides a forum
for discussion of Federal activities, programs, and policies
that affect historic properties. One of the principal
responsibilities of the Council is to implement Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act, which requires that the
Council be given an opportunity to comment on the impacts of
projects or actions undertaken by other Federal agencies on
sites or structures eligible for inclusion in the National
Register of Historic Places.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $5,908,000 for the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation, which is an increase of
$410,000 over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, and the same
as the budget request.

Committee recommendation................................ 49,122,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was created by
Congress in 1980 through Public Law 96-388 with the mandate to
operate and maintain a permanent living memorial museum to the
victims of the Holocaust; provide appropriate ways for the
Nation to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust through the
annual national civic observances known as the Days of
Remembrance; and carry out the recommendations of the
President's Commission on the Holocaust. The building that
houses the museum was constructed with private funds and opened
to the public in 1993. Since that time, the museum has
attracted four to five times the number of expected visitors
and has been highly successful in its fundraising efforts.
Private contributions comprise nearly 50 percent of the
museum's annual operating budget.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $49,122,000 for the U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Museum, an increase of $1,862,000 above the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level and $571,000 above the budget request.
The additional amount is provided to restore exhibition
development funds to the current year enacted level of
$1,264,000. The Committee notes that Federal support for this
activity has remained at this same level for more than a
decade, while the costs of labor and building materials have
escalated considerably. The Committee does not agree to a
proposed reduction that would further diminish the museum's
purchasing power.
Following the recent tragic shooting at the Holocaust
Museum, immediate action has been taken by officials to
implement additional security measures. Support beyond that
identified in the current budget request will be required,
however, to sustain these changes in fiscal year 2010. In
response to this need, the Committee has included an amount of
$550,000 above the budget request to fund the costs associated
with an increase in the museum's guard force, as well as the
purchase additional equipment.
Presidio Trust
PRESIDIO TRUST FUND
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $17,450,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 17,230,000
House allowance......................................... 23,200,000
Committee recommendation................................ 17,230,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Upon deciding that the U.S. Army would end its 148-year
presence at the Presidio, Congress created the Presidio Trust
as part of the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of
1996. The Trust's mission is to preserve and enhance the
natural, cultural, scenic, and recreational resources of the
Presidio for public use in perpetuity, and to achieve long-term
financial sustainability through rental, lease, and other
revenues derived from the use of Presidio buildings and spaces.
The Trust manages the interior 80 percent of Presidio lands
(known as Area B), including most buildings and infrastructure.
The National Park Service manages coastal areas (known as Area
A) as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Appropriations for the Trust are expected to decline from year
to year, and to cease entirely at or before the end of fiscal
year 2012.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $17,230,000 for the Presidio
Trust, a decrease of $220,000 from the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level and the same as the budget request.

TITLE IV
GENERAL PROVISIONS
The Committee has recommended inclusion of several general
provisions in the bill including the following:
Sec. 401. Provides that contracts which provide consulting
services be a matter of public record and available for public
review, except where otherwise provided by law.
Sec. 402. Provides that appropriations available in the
bill shall not be used to produce literature or otherwise
promote public support of a legislative proposal on which
legislative action is not complete. The provision has been
modified to make clear that it does not restrict authorized
communications with Congress.
Sec. 403. Provides that appropriations made available in
this bill cannot be used to provide a cook, chauffeur, or other
personal servants.
Sec. 404. Retains language carried in prior years with
regard to assessments for Government-wide, departmental,
agency, or bureau functions.
Sec. 405. Limits the actions of the Forest Service and the
Bureau of Land Management with regard to the sale of giant
sequoia trees to a manner consistent with such sales as were
conducted in fiscal year 2008.
Sec. 406. Retains mining patent moratorium carried in
previous years.
Sec. 407. Continues a provision regarding the payment of
contract support costs.
Sec. 408. Continues a provision providing that the
Secretary of Agriculture shall not be considered in violation
of certain provisions of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable
Resources Planning Act solely because more than 15 years have
passed without revision of a forest plan, provided that the
Secretary is working in good faith to complete the plan
revision within available funds.
Sec. 409. Prohibits oil, natural gas, and mining related
activities within current national monument boundaries, except
where such activities are allowed under the presidential
proclamation establishing the monument.
Sec. 410. Provides the Secretary of Agriculture and the
Secretary of the Interior the authority to enter into
reciprocal agreements with foreign nations concerning the
personal liability of firefighters.
Sec. 411. Allows the Secretary of Agriculture and the
Secretary of the Interior to consider local contractors when
awarding contracts for certain activities on public lands.
Sec. 412. Continues language prohibiting Federal funds
being spent for competitive sourcing and related activities at
the Forest Service.
Sec. 413. Restricts funding appropriated for acquisition of
land or interests in land from being used for declarations of
taking or complaints in condemnation.
Sec. 414. Provides $8,000,000 to continue environmental
remediation activities at the Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard in
San Francisco, California and authorizes the transfer of funds
from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Department of
the Navy.
Sec. 415. Extends certain authorities allowing the Forest
Service and Bureau of Land Management to renew grazing permits
or leases.
Sec. 416. Continues a long standing requirement in Alaska
that IHS funds be made available only to regional Alaska Native

in order to make the most cost effective use possible of scarce
IHS funds for provision of health services.
Sec. 417. Addresses timber sales involving Alaska western
red cedar. Mills which process western red cedar in the Pacific
Northwest have an insufficient supply of western red cedar, and
the national forest in southeast Alaska sometimes has a
surplus. This provision continues a program by which Alaska's
surplus western red cedar is made available preferentially to
U.S. domestic mills outside Alaska, prior to export abroad.
Sec. 418. Colorado Cooperative Conservation Authority.
Extends the ability of the State of Colorado to work
cooperatively on Forest Service lands until fiscal year 2011.
Sec. 419. Expands the National Council on the Arts

year.
Sec. 422. Provides for funding in the amounts specified in
the table titled ``Congressionally Directed Spending Items''
included in the Committee report accompanying this act.

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS
The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the
Senate, the term ``congressional directed spending item'' means
a provision or report language included primarily at the
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan,
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality
or congressional district, other than through a statutory or
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
For each item, a Member is required to provide a
certification that neither the Member nor the Senator's
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations (www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm).
Following is a list of congressionally directed spending
items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this
report, along with the name of each Senator who submitted a
request to the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so
identified. Neither the Committee recommendation nor this
report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff
benefits as defined in rule XLIV.
